According to the "Milan Sports Daily", Lukeman only wants to join Inter Milan and will reject invitations from teams such as the Premier League.
Inter Milan's previous offer to buy Lukeman was rejected by Atlanta, and Lukeman has decided to take extreme measures. He no longer participates in Atlanta training and even leaves the Atlanta club. Now the media speculates that he may wait for further transfer news in Portugal or Spain.
The Milan Sports reported that Atlanta was angry at Lukeman's farewell and tried to find a new buyer for Lukeman in a wealthy Premier League team. But Lukeman's attitude is very firm. He will not accept invitations from any other team, including Premier League teams. He only wants to transfer to Inter Milan.
Lukeman believes Atlanta had promised last summer that it would sell itself if it received enough offer this summer, but now it is breaking its promise. Atlanta said it promised to sell Lukeman to teams outside Serie A, but not Serie A teams such as Inter Milan. Atlanta is currently preparing to impose severe penalties on Lukeman, but Lukeman has decided to not return to Atlanta at all costs. There are reports from Portugal that Lukeman is training alone to stay in shape.
After two consecutive quotations were rejected, Inter Milan was also ready to raise the quotation again: the fixed transfer fee is 45 million euros, and the bonus is expected to reach 50 million euros. But before Inter Milan's official offer, he asked Atlanta to give a signal that Lukeman could transfer and leave the team, rather than unilaterally increasing the price.
Atlanta is unwilling to sell Lukeman to Serie A competitors like Inter Milan. They recommend Lukeman to some top Premier League teams, such as Arsenal, who needs to find a striker with similar characteristics to Lukeman. But so far, Atlanta has not received any official offer from Premier League teams, and Atlanta hopes that Premier League teams can start specific operations in the next few days.
The Milan Sports Daily also revealed that Lukeman and Inter Milan have negotiated a five-year contract with an annual salary of 4.5 million euros. Inter Milan President Marotta and sports director Osirio decided to wait for another week. If Lukeman is still unable to sign, Inter Milan will consider turning to other alternative targets such as Sancho.
