Atlético Madrid assign Super Eagles winger Ademola Lookman the No. 11 shirt ahead of the 2026/27 LaLiga season. Multiple outlets report the change is made official by the club as Lookman takes over the squad number previously worn by another player.
The reports add that Lookman joined Atlético Madrid from Serie A club Atalanta in January. During his first six months at the Spanish side, he wore the No. 22 jersey, before switching to No. 11. One outlet links the number change to a team reshuffle, saying Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada has left the club after finalizing a transfer to River Plate.
Across the coverage, the main focus stays on Lookman’s new squad number and the timing relative to Atlético’s upcoming LaLiga campaign, with limited additional detail beyond the prior jersey and the reported departure that helped clear the No. 11 spot.
