German tactician Hansi Flick would prefer that Barcelona sign Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman or Nico Williams instead Luis Diaz, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lookman has been heavily linked with a transfer away from Atalanta following his consistent brilliant performances in the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Super Eagles forward has contributed 50 goals and 22 assists in 11 appearances across all competitions, helping them to their first Serie A title last season.<\/p>\n

Last summer, it looked likely that Lookman would leave La Dea for a top side in Europe, but the transfer did not work out. At some point, it looked like he was bound for PSG, but the deal did not work out.<\/p>\n

This seems to be Lookman\u2019s final season at Atalanta, and Barcelona and Liverpool have been touted as potential destinations.<\/p>\n

However, there have been speculations that Barcelona would prioritize the signing of Diaz instead.<\/p>\n

But according to Barca Universal<\/a>, Barcelona coach Flick would prefer that they sign either Lookman or Nottingham Forest\u2019s Williams.<\/p>\n

The transfer is expected to be a complicated one for Barcelona, giving their financial problems. Lookman is valued at around \u20ac60-\u20ac70 million and they want to spread the payments, an option that Atalanta may not accept.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, both parties could still find a middle ground to make the transfer happen.<\/p>\n

Soccer Will Barcelona be the best option for Ademola Lookman?<\/h2>\n

For Ademola Lookman right now, he will be looking to consolidate on what he has done at Atalanta, and Barcelona might just be the right place.<\/p>\n

Under Flick, the Blaugrana are playing a pure brand of attacking football, a system that Lookman could flourish in.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles star has also been linked with a transfer to the Premier League, with Arsenal in the mix. However, he has played in the Premier League before and did not perform.<\/p>\n

A new environment could just unlock a new level for Lookman. And for sure, he will win some silverware.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
