Barcelona Eyes Ademola Lookman over Luis Díaz
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly eyeing a transfer for Nigeria’s forward, Ademola Lookman, placing high priority above Liverpool’s Luis Díaz due to Lookman’s exceptional performance with Atalanta. The Super Eagles player, crucial to his current team, boasts an impressive 50 goals and 22 assists in 111 competitions. Such form has ignited interest from top European clubs, including Barcelona, alongside previously linked destinations like Paris Saint-Germain.
Potential Transfer Challenges and Options
Though Barcelona desires to bolster their attack featuring a high-intensity wing-forward like Lookman, their current financial woes propose hurdles. Valued between €60-70 million, Atalanta’s firm stance against staggered payments complicates negotiations significantly. Meanwhile, Lagos news and Abuja news are astir with prospects of a Premier League return to Arsenal, despite the player’s modest past performances in England. A shift to La Liga might be beneficial given its alignment with his attacking style.
Key Takeaways:
- Barcelona prefers Ademola Lookman over Luis Díaz to rejuvenate their attack.
- Lookman’s move might be hindered by Barcelona’s financial pressure.
- Arsenal emerges as a potential contender despite Lookman’s past English league performance.
