Barça Willing to Pay €60 Million for a Real Madrid Castoff

Football Club Barcelona seems to be very interested in strengthening with one of the players that Real Madrid had on their list of desired ones. In this regard, Florentino Pérez had this player very well observed by the entire team and he seemed to be a real option. However, in the end, he was discarded to try to bring in other options that could provide more balance to the team.

We are referring to the young figure of Atalanta, Ademola Lookman, who was the great star of the last UEFA Europa League final. This player was one of the great threats to the white club in the matches they had with the Italian team. However, in the end, he was discarded as an option to strengthen the attack, as they had others on the table.

Now the Catalan team would put an approximate figure of 60 million euros ($60 million) to acquire the player's services. This could serve as a replacement for the refusal to sign Nico Williams that they had last summer.

They Want This Madrid Reject

This player is one of the most interesting that the Italian squad currently has this season, at just 27 years old. His market value rises to 60 million euros ($60 million) and he could definitely be an interesting profile for the blaugrana attack.

This season he has been able to enjoy a little more than 2,200 minutes in 32 matches, contributing 18 goals and 7 assists. These numbers are quite interesting and, being a player who can perform in the entire offensive profile, he can be very useful for the Culers.

However, it is necessary to consider why Real Madrid ended up rejecting this option, and it seems that he is not the ideal player for the Merengue profile. Moreover, considering the names that the white structure currently has, he is just another discard due to the great quality of their players.

We'll See If They Sign Him

In the end, it is a quite high figure for a team that doesn't have the economic resources to be able to make this kind of operation. However, considering the aid they have received from LaLiga, it wouldn't be surprising to see him dressed in blaugrana.
