In the sports management of FC Barcelona, they are still evaluating options to reinforce the left wing after the failed incorporation of Nico Williams. Well, now Barça would have set its sights on the Nigerian player Ademola Lookman.
The name of the '11' would have already started to resonate strongly in the offices of the Blaugrana sports dome. With the market in full swing, the Nigerian winger could emerge as an unexpected incorporation.
Thus, Barcelona adds a new option to reinforce the squad for the 2025/26 season, with the idea of fighting for all possible titles, mainly the UEFA Champions League.
Lookman has a market value of 70 million euros, according to Transfermarkt, but according to rumors, the player could leave Atalanta Bergamo for a sum of between 30 and 40 'kilos'.
Barça receives Lookman's wink to reinforce the attack
In this context, the 27-year-old player would be interested in leaving Atalanta and would have communicated to his closest environment the idea of wanting to wear the shirt of the Azulgrana team.
Likewise, according to sources close to the player, people linked to him have already started informal conversations with members of the sports management of the Blaugrana club, conveying their firm intention to join the new project led by Hansi Flick.
The player's disposition is unequivocal: if Barça takes the step, Lookman would be delighted to wear the Blaugrana shirt and face the challenge. The '11', who can also play as an attacking midfielder, closed the 2024/25 season with 20 goals and 7 assists in 40 games (2,871 minutes).
Flick observes Lookman's candidacy with interest
For his part, the coach of the Azulgrana team, Hansi Flick, would not see it as a bad idea to have a player of Ademola's stature. Thus, the German coach would consider that the '11' of the goddess is a very interesting profile due to his verticality, goalscoring ability and imbalance on both wings.
It should be noted that Barça is not the only club that contemplates a possible incorporation of Ademola Lookman. Various sources assure that another interested team is Atlético de Madrid as well, who would have already expressed their interest in the Nigerian winger, who closed the last season with an outstanding performance that has catapulted him.
Thus, although Barcelona wants to sign a top player for the left wing, the sports management would not be planning to pay figures that may later represent a headache for the club's accounts.
The Barcelona team is more inclined to study each of the movements it intends to make and execute them strategically, both financially and sportingly, since it also considers other options such as Luis Díaz and Marcus Rashford, who would be the best positioned to land at Camp Barça currently.
