Inter Milan’s sports director, Giuseppe Marotta, has disclosed the reason for the club’s decision to withdraw from discussions for Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman.

The Nerazzurri agreed to a five-year contract with Lookman, but Atalanta rejected their €45 million offer.

Inter abandoned the move last week and focused on other targets.

Lookman, who submitted a transfer request to Atalanta and was also shunned for several days, now faces an uncertain future at the club.

Marotta opined La Dea have the right to hold on to their star player.

“There was talk of Lookman, but we found a club that had every right not to put him on the market, and rightly so,” he told TMW.
