Spanish football giants Barcelona are reportedly setting their sights on Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman as a potential summer signing. According to top Catalan source 3cat, newly appointed manager Hansi Flick is pushing for the Atalanta star’s inclusion in the squad as he aims to inject pace and creativity into the frontline.
While Liverpool’s Luis Díaz remains Barça’s priority signing, ongoing negotiations with the English club have hit roadblocks. Díaz is also being courted by Saudi side Al Ahli, adding more uncertainty to the deal.
This has opened the door for Lookman, whose stellar performances in the 2024/25 Serie A season caught the attention of top European clubs. The 27-year-old Nigerian forward bagged 15 goals and 5 assists in 31 appearances for Atalanta, showing consistency and flair.
Lookman is reportedly open to a move, and Atalanta are believed to value him at around €60 million. With only a year left on his contract, Barcelona could swoop in for a bargain if negotiations go well.
