He is set to undergo further examination but has already been sidelined from full training.
Inter Milan, eager to sign the Nigerian forward, have agreed personal terms with him but their initial €40 million offer falls short of Atalanta’s €60 million asking price.
To bridge the gap, they are considering including midfielder Kristjan Asllani in a player-plus-cash deal to sweeten the offer.
The injury comes at a pivotal moment, complicating negotiations as Atalanta remain firm on their valuation.
