Complicated last days of the transfer market at Atalanta . Ademola Lookman has asked not to be called up for the league debut against Lecce . Like him, Koopmeiners is also absent, having done the same a few weeks ago. Luca Percassi, Atalanta's administrator, spoke to Sky Sport about the situation.
When asked about the future of the players, Percassi replied: " We are very calm. Our idea, shared by everyone, coach, owners and club, was not to let these important players leave, for the first time in our history . We have always respected all our obligations, we can't wait for this transfer market to end, which has brought us some bad luck, such as Scamacca's injury. The club will decide the future".
Then, on the players' choices, he replied: " We didn't expect certain things. We are very calm. Our fortune is that the company has shown willingness to invest. Our will is to continue doing: we are ready to seize some activities".
Finally: " Unfortunately, very often players are advised inappropriate things. Of course, the transfer market being open when the game is played makes it infinitely time-consuming ."
