Barcelona are reportedly considering a summer move for Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman as sporting director Deco seeks to revamp the club’s attacking options.
Lookman has enjoyed a stellar season at Atalanta, and his performances have reportedly propelled him to the top of Barcelona’s transfer wish list, surpassing AC Milan’s Rafael Leao.
Deco, a strong advocate for the 26-year-old winger, is said to believe that Lookman’s dynamic playing style would seamlessly fit into the tactical vision of new head coach Hansi Flick.
The former Chelsea and Barcelona midfielder views Lookman as a versatile player who could add fresh energy to the squad. Known for his ability to play on either wing or as a second striker, Lookman’s flexibility aligns well with Flick’s high-pressing, fast-paced football philosophy.
Lookman’s excellent form this season, where he has scored 17 goals and provided 7 assists, has not gone unnoticed. His potential move to Barcelona comes amid growing interest from several top clubs. Juventus are reportedly eyeing him as a potential replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, while Premier League heavyweights Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal are also monitoring his situation.
