Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is keen to have a member of the attacking ranks at Serie A outfit Atalanta as part of his squad for next season.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Catalunya Ràdio, who point towards Ademola Lookman as the player in question.
It is of course common knowledge at this point that Barcelona are on the lookout for reinforcements in the wide areas with a view to next season.
Links with a whole host of wingers from across Europe, chief amongst them Premier League pair Luis Díaz and Marcus Rashford, have in turn been forthcoming in the media.
As alluded to above, though, should deals for either not be on the table over the weeks ahead, Hansi Flick appears to have identified a backup option, by way of Italy…
As per a report from Cat Ràdio:
‘Ademola Lookman’s name has been strongly mentioned in various media outlets as a possible signing for Barça. Hansi Flick has reportedly suggested the addition of the Atalanta BC star as an attractive and economically viable option to strengthen the winger position.’
Whilst some outlets point towards Lookman boasting a €60 million price-tag this summer, others suggest that he could be landed for a sum closer to just €30 million.
The Nigerian international is fresh off another productive campaign which saw him rack up 20 goals and seven assists across all competitions.
