Super Eagles player Ademola Lookman has joined Atletico de Madrid on a permanent transfer.
This piece of good news was announced a few minutes ago by his former club and Italian side Atlanta, who thanked him for everything and wished him the best of luck in his new club.
Ademola Lookman, on his part, thanked the Atlanta club for the opportunity to be with them in the past four years.
He wrote on his Xhandle:
“To the Atalanta family, after nearly four years, the time has come for me to say goodbye. From the moment I arrived in Bergamo, you welcomed me like one of your own and pushed me to be the best version of myself.
“Together we made history. European champions, a night none of us will ever forget. Scoring a hat-trick in a European final and lifting a trophy with this club after a 61-year trophy drought will stay with me.
“Winning the Africa Player of the Year award in 2024 as an Atalanta player will forever stay with me. Those moments, those emotions, those nights under the lights, they’re engraved in my heart.
“Thank you to my teammates, the staff, and the club. To the fans, your passion, your belief, your energy meant everything. From day one, you stood by me and by this team through every moment. Your passion, your voices, and your belief never faded, and together we achieved.
“Every cheer, every banner, every away trip meant something. Thank you for making Bergamo feel like home and for giving me memories I’ll carry forever”.
