According to Team Talk, Barcelona is showing interest in acquiring Ademola Lookman from Atalanta. The player has been identified as a target for the Spanish club. Reports suggest that Lookman is keen to leave Atalanta this summer in order to join a top-tier European team and would be thrilled to sign with Barcelona. Atalanta has reportedly lowered their asking price for Lookman to under €50 million, considering his contract runs until June 2027 and he is not planning to renew it. Nonetheless, negotiations face a challenge since Lookman shares the same agents as Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, whom the club is looking to transfer, which might complicate the deal.
Goal.com reports on the potential impact of the fallout between Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Barcelona on the club's transfer plans for Atalanta's Ademola Lookman. The ongoing fallout between Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Barcelona could stop the Spanish club from pursuing a deal for Atalanta's Ademola Lookman.
Barcelona's sporting hierarchy have shifted their focus onto Atalanta's €50m (£42.4m) forward Ademola Lookman after closing the door on Nico Williams according to El Nacional from Spain.
Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Barcelona have contacted the player’s representatives to evaluate a potential move for Lookman. However, the ongoing financial difficulties of the Catalan giants may pose a serious obstacle.
Barcelona is interested in signing Ademola Lookman as a potential reinforcement for their attack. Lookman is currently playing well for Atalanta, but his contract runs until 2026, and his relationship with coach Gian Piero Gasperini is not ideal. Atalanta is open to negotiating for a transfer fee between 30 and 40 million euros.
Ademola Lookman, on the verge of leaving Atalanta, is not Barcelona's top priority, but his contract situation (one year remaining) might prompt action from the club. Estimated at 55 million euros, a 30 million euro offer could satisfy Atalanta.
Barcelona have made contact with Lookman’s agents and are very interested in bringing him to the Camp Nou as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, Barcelona's ongoing financial challenges could make a deal difficult.
Deco, the sports director of Barcelona, along with Bojan Krkic, who is in charge of the youth club, reportedly attended the Europa League final and were 'seduced' by Lookman's goals and plays. The Nigerian national player, who has also played for Everton and Lipsia, could be an interesting profile for the Catalan club, which has been looking for a winger who can play on both bands for some time. His market value is currently estimated at 30 million euros two years before the expiry of his contract.
Ademola Lookman performed exceptionally in the Europa League final, drawing the attention of FC Barcelona's sporting directors, Deco and Bojan. However, due to Barcelona's financial situation, they are not able to make a clear move for the player at this time. They would need to sell players or other assets first, with the risk that other clubs might show serious interest in Lookman, whose contract with Atalanta expires in 2026.
