At this stage, Luis Diaz, of Liverpool, is the privileged candidate of the sports director Deco, but other players will be envisaged before the opening of the transfer window in early July.
Rafael Leao is another player appreciated by FC Barcelona, and he should be sold by AC Milan, although he is among the most precious players in the club. Nico Williams is also a candidate, even if the Catalan team should not embark on such an important offensive to recruit him as last summer.
The latest player who seems to join the list of candidates is Ademola Lookman. As MD reports, the Nigerian international plans to leave Serie A during the summer transfer window and he knows that Barcelona seeks to recruit a new winger, and he thinks it could be him.
ADEMOLA Lookman excelled with Atalanta
Lookman has displayed an exceptional form in the past 18 months, notably with a hat-trick in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen last season-the only match of the 2024-25 season lost by the Xabi Alonso team. Building on this success, he aroused great interest to Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League clubs, but he appreciates Barcelona.
The report underlines that Barcelona appreciates the qualities of Lookman and that at 27 years old, he enters his best years. However, the club acknowledges that it is neither his first nor its second choice, and that a transfer would probably only be envisaged this summer in the absence of Diaz or Leao.
