Barcelona aims at Lukeman

Barcelona winger's signings have encountered another ups and downs! Lukeman has become a potential target, but Ter Stegen's "knot" may become an obstacle!

Barcelona is actively seeking a new left winger after missing Nico Williams. While both Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford were among the candidates, Ademola Lookman surfaced as a more affordable option—but tensions surrounding Marc-Andre ter Stegen could complicate the deal.

Barcelona winger's "repeated defeats" has been signed by the wingers

Barcelona has been committed to signing a new left winger, but progress has been very little so far. Nico Williams was once infinitely close to joining, but eventually chose to renew his contract with Athletic Bilbao. Meanwhile, efforts to sign Louis Dias have not progressed as expected, and Bayern Munich is now seen as the Colombian's front-runner. Although negotiations with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford have advanced, Barcelona is vigilant against over-reliance on single options and is still actively exploring other alternatives, given Williams' "learnings".

Admora Lukeman surfaced: Good quality and low price?

Williams' refusal forced Barcelona to reassess the signing target. Football Espana reports that in addition to Dias and Rashford, Admora Lukeman is also a name being considered. The 27-year-old Nigerian international is expected to leave Atlanta this summer and Atletico Madrid has reportedly shown interest in him as well.

Spanish media Sport claims Atlanta is open to offers below 50 million euros (about £43.2 million), making Lukeman's potential deal more economically attractive to Barcelona.

Telstegen controversy: Invisible barriers at the negotiating table

However, the report also pointed out that reaching a personal agreement with Lukeman could face complexity. The problem stems from the tension between Barcelona and the player's agent - coincidentally, the same agency also represented the team's goalkeeper Mark Andre Terstegen.

Since Ter Stegen is no longer Barcelona's preferred goalkeeper, he is expected to leave the club this summer. Although no official negotiations have been underway, extensive media coverage has exacerbated uncertainty surrounding his future.

Broker relationship becomes the crux of the problem: Lukeman's trading future is uncertain

Given that both Ter Stegen and Lukeman are represented by the same brokerage firm, Barcelona is uncertain whether they can successfully complete negotiations with Lukeman's team of brokers under the current tense relationship.

Although Barcelona clearly understands Lukeman's market availability, no formal action has been taken yet. The club is concerned that until the issue of Ter Stegen's stay or leave is clearly resolved, a formal offer against Lukeman may not be made, and it may even miss the opportunity to introduce the winger.
