Ademola Lookman Transfer from Atalanta to FC Barcelona

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.
