Ademola Lookman and Atalanta have finally put an end to their summer-long dispute after the Nigerian forward had talks with head coach Ivan Juric and agreed to give his all for the team. This comes after the Nigerian met with the club's officials to discuss his position at the club recently. The 27-year-old is now expected to start in Atalanta's league fixture against Torino on Sunday.
Atalanta coach Ivan Juric admitted that Paris Saint-Germain are operating at a far higher level than his side after their 4-0 defeat in the opening match of the Champions League. However, the Croatian defended his decision to adopt an aggressive approach, insisting that pushing higher up the pitch was the only way Atalanta stood a chance against the reigning champions.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has adapted some interesting training methods designed to prevent his players from arguing with referees, Marquinhos has revealed.

Ademola Lookman has been warned he faces a tough road back into the Atalanta first-team after he was left out of the squad again on Sunday. The Nigerian has been at odds with the club after his dramatic attempts to force a move to Inter in this summer transfer window. Manager Ivan Juric called it a tense situation as he asked for more "humility" and wants his players to have a "sense of belonging."
