The Nerazzurri know that with the goddess it is easier to agree – in the case – terms of disraighted payment, rather than discounts

Atalanta on Lookman is clear from day one, therefore also from the days preceding the first “official” offer of Inter. And it has not changed: the Nigerian can be relieved as many (not all) the Nerazzurri in the squad, but under the conditions of the club, not of the player. Also more than the others, wanting: the corporate philosophy has always been to have happy people to play in the goddess. But then there are the market logic (read evaluations) and the contractual obligations, not to be confused with other “obligations” to which Lookman’s agents would have referred: alluding to a promise of sale in this market session for a figure close to 40 million. Nothing more than a verbal gentleman agreement dating back to last summer, Atalanta has always made it known: the only insurance given at that time was that of an OK to make him change shirt, but only behind the congruous offer.

Chess game

The congruous figure, for Atalanta, has always had a “five” in front: better if in the fixed part, in any case to be covered in full, with a (small) part represented by any bonuses, presumably “easy”. A request not officially communicated, but always known to Inter. And Inter also knows that with Atalanta it is easier to agree – in the case – deadlines of payment, rather than anomalous formulas, or strong discounts on the evaluation made of their players. And that the A.D. Luca Percassi and the DS Tony D’Amico have never worn out from the chess games that arise in negotiations like this: Lookman today is a separated at home, but being entered the order of ideas to sell it, as the story has developed, has no higher weight to the urgency that Inter has to buy it, after having ele almost unique as a reinforcement for its attack. The cards that both clubs, at this point, will have to discover, will say the rest.

The “tear” hypothesis

What if Inter really decide to take other paths? Nobody in Zingonia would live it as a drama. For two reasons. The first: always assuming that no other requests come, perhaps from abroad (the most desirable solution for Atalanta, but in reality for now no club, in addition to Inter, has been forward with concrete topics), in the pink a strong player would remain, to the advantage of the team’s potential. That not surprisingly, today, market men aim to strengthen with a center forward who replaces attributes, not with an exterior that takes the place of Lookman. The second: Atalanta is not only prepared for a possible “tear” of the player – who has always regularly presented himself to Zingonia for the therapies – and his agents; It is also “rodata” to face certain dynamics, see the Koopmeiners of last summer. The difference compared to a year ago is Chiara, because Atalanta has never declared an unspeakable look, as she did with the Dutchman. The iron fist, in the projects of the Bergamo club, is a solution put in a quote, but as an extreme: if the one with Inter became an arm wrestling. Interminable, and with rules too different from his.
