According to slow motion, Lukeman will not completely break with Atlanta for the time being.
Lukeman did not completely break with Atlanta, and despite deleting all Atlanta-related content on social media, he decided to put on the team's jersey and participate in training normally in Singonia. He is still recovering from a calf injury and everything is going according to the recovery plan.
Although the standoff with the club continues and Lukeman's desire to leave the team has not changed, both sides have chosen to avoid a complete showdown for the time being.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan is considering the next move: they received a response to the latest offer, and although this is not the reply the club or Lukeman himself is looking forward to, it is at least a new step in negotiations with Atlanta.
It should be clear that this transaction is far from settled. Atlanta's refusal to sell the striker and his delay in giving a clear price for release initially seemed to be expressing that the player was "not selling", but according to Rochester editor-in-chief Zazaroni, after Marotta and Percassi's subsequent contact, the situation became clearer: Atlanta knew that Lukeman was eager to transfer to Inter Milan, and in principle he was willing to fulfill him, but Atlanta still believed that "not sincere enough" about Inter Milan's quotation of 42 million + 3 million euros.
Currently, Inter Milan is waiting for further action from Lukeman and his team, while also considering whether to raise the offer or turn to other alternative goals. It is expected that there will be a lot of progress this weekend, and Inter and the players are planning to take some time to re-crush their respective strategies, although everyone is anxious. Inter Milan hopes to introduce a forward for Zivo as soon as possible and then start to strengthen the defense line.
In Atlanta, there is only Skamaca on the front line at present, and they also need to determine as soon as possible whether they can continue to rely on Lukeman in the 2025/26 season or find a replacement. They are very interested in Kelstovic. Lukeman himself can't wait to start a new adventure.
