Percassi spoke about Lookman's situation during a press conference. He explained that Lookman had asked to be sold to a top European club last year when PSG offered €20 million for him. Atalanta promised to sell him in the current transfer window if two conditions were met. The conditions were that Lookman wanted to join a super top European club and that he would never play for any other Italian club except Atalanta.
Percassi emphasized that the club always evaluates the right time and value of its players. He made it clear that Atalanta decides who to sell, not the players.
