Jonathan Rowe Joins Atalanta, Influenced by Lookman
Jonathan Rowe was officially presented as an Atalanta player on Thursday after joining from Bologna on an initial loan deal that includes an option and a conditional obligation to buy. The transfer was confirmed by the club on September 1.
Rowe, 23, received the No. 11 shirt, which was previously worn by Ademola Lookman during his time at Atalanta. Rowe shared that a casual conversation with Lookman while on holiday significantly influenced his decision to join the Italian club.
Lookman spoke positively about his experience at Atalanta, which Rowe acknowledged helped him weigh his options. Rowe emphasized that he does not wish to be seen as a replacement for Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig in August 2022 and later moved to Atlético Madrid in February.
Lookman's notable contribution to Atalanta was scoring a hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final.
