On the pitch, the Bergamo side have struggled without him. Following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Pisa, Juric addressed the press ahead of this weekend's match against Parma

Atalanta clearly missed their key player, Lookman, who has been pushing for a move away from the club. Juric hinted at more transfer activity, saying, “I think that could still get some more moves done before the transfer deadline.

"I don’t know anything about Lookman; it’s difficult to hazard a guess on what will happen or if he will remain.”
