With the failure of the Nico Williams track - who extended his contract at Athletic Club until 2035 , FC Barcelona must now change if it wishes to strengthen its attacking sector this summer. Several leads were already revealed by the Spanish press in recent weeks, such as Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) or Luis Diaz (Liverpool). Another track, less publicized certainly, leads to the Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman , who is coming off a more than interesting season with a total of 20 goals scored and 7 assists delivered between Serie A and the Champions League. Capable of playing in all attacking positions, his versatility could be a prestigious choice for Hansi Flick, who already suffered last year from a lack of depth on his bench, thus constraining him in his team rotations during a long season (60 matches in all competitions).
However, SPORT claims that negotiations could become complicated between the Super Eagles international's entourage and the Catalan management. And for good reason. According to the latest indiscretions from the Catalan daily, Ademola Lookman shares the same agency with German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, in the midst of a conflict with FC Barcelona's management, who have decided to sideline him in an attempt to sell him this summer, Flick having decided to play his 2025-2026 season with Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczęsny in goal. A situation that should not suit the various parties, as SPORT indicates , while Barça is still waiting to get rid of its unwanted players before truly launching into this summer transfer window. As a reminder, Atalanta has set Lookman's price at €50 million according to Italian media, and Tottenham are also said to be interested in his services.
