Barcelona is working on signing a new left wing player, but their efforts have not been very successful so far. Nico Williams had become very close to the member before he decided to sign a new contract with Athletic Club instead, while the efforts to sign an alternative were not demanded as hoped.
The snub of Williams has left Barcelona, given a number of options, with Luis Diaz van Liverpool the preferred goal of the club. But at this stage, Bayern Munich is more likely to sign him, which means that Marcus Rashford, who can be signed on loan from Manchester United, can be a more viable candidate.
In addition to Diaz and Rashford, breathola lookman is another player who is considering Barcelona. The Nigeria International is strongly connected this summer to leaving Atalanta, and Atletico Madrid are also among the clubs that consider a movement for him in the coming weeks.
A deal for lookman can be favorable for Barcelona, where sport reports that Atalanta is willing to accept less than € 50 million. However, they may also be the opportunity that an agreement that is concluded with the player himself is slim, since the relationships are tense between the Catalan club and the representatives of the 27-year-old.
The problem comes from Barcelona's tense tensions with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, which they want to sell this summer because he is no longer counted as the starting goalkeeper of the club. Although there has been no official communication between the two parties, stories through the media have led to worries.
Ter Stegen and Lookman are represented by the same agency, and that is why Barcelona does not have excessive confidence to be able to sign the last one. They have information about his availability, but no official step has been taken for now – and one cannot take place until a result has been achieved with the German International.
