Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has been left out of Atalanta’s squad for their upcoming Serie A match against Torino.
The omission comes amid intense speculation about the player’s future, with both Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Arsenal reportedly interested in his services.
Atalanta’s squad list for the fixture, presented by Gian Piero Gasperini, notably excludes Lookman from the 23-man roster.

He had also missed Monday’s 4-0 away win over Leece in the Serie A opener after playing 90 minutes of action in their 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.
This exclusion follows recent reports that Lookman has reached a verbal agreement with PSG regarding personal terms.
According to SkySports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, the 26-year-old “wants to join PSG with immediate effect.” However, negotiations between PSG and Atalanta for a permanent deal are currently at an impasse.
Plettenberg also added that Arsenal is closely monitoring the situation in case the deal fails. The Gunners’ interest comes at a time when they may be looking to bolster their attacking options, especially with rumors of Eddie Nketiah potentially departing for Nottingham Forest.
