Ademola Lookman requests transfer from Atalanta citing broken promises and poor treatment
BERGAMO, Italy (AP) — Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has handed the club a formal transfer request, the player said Sunday. Lookman made the announcement with a statement posted on Instagram. The 27-year-old said the request was made 'after many months of broken promises and what I feel has been poor treatment towards me as both a human being and as a professional footballer. 'Sadly I feel I have no choice but to speak out for what I believe is right and I feel that enough is enough,' he said. He said in the statement that it had already been decided that it was the 'right time" for him "to move on and experience a new adventure.' He said he and the club ownership had been 'in agreement' that now was the right time for a transfer, and that the club agreed to let him leave if a fair offer was made. He said an offer did arrive but now the club was not sticking to its end of the agreement. 'Despite now receiving an offer in alignment to what I believe had been discussed, sadly the club are blocking the opportunity for reasons I do not understand,' he said. Lookman did not give other details about the offer. ___ AP soccer:

White Sox takes victory 1-0 over Angels to leads series
Aaron Civale pitched one-hit ball into the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Saturday night to surpass their win total from last season. Chicago improved to 42-69 with its 10th win in 14 games since the All-Star break. It finished with a 41-121 record in 2024, breaking the modern major league record for most losses in a season. The White Sox scored their only run on Kyle Teel's RBI single in the second against Kyle Hendricks (6-8). Teel drove in Luis Robert Jr., who reached on a leadoff single. Civale (3-6) struck out eight in 6 1/3 innings. He is 2-0 in his last three starts, allowing an unearned run and seven hits in 17 1/3 innings. The Angels got their only hit when Zach Neto beat out a slow roller down the third base line leading off the fourth. It was the team's third consecutive loss. Brandon Eisert retired each of his five batters, and Jordan Leasure finished the one-hitter for his third save in seven opportunities. Brooks Baldwin had two of Chicago's six hits. The White Sox played without infielder Miguel Vargas, who was scratched because of a left oblique strain. Nolan Schanuel walked after Neto's hit. But Civale retired the next three batters. Chicago began the day with 27 home runs and 90 runs scored since the All-Star break — tops in the majors. Right-hander Sean Burke (4-8, 4.17 ERA) starts on Sunday for the White Sox, and right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (3-9, 5.75 ERA) goes for the Angels.
