FC Barcelona’s Transfer Focus
In a week marked by significant transfer activity, FC Barcelona has reportedly turned its attention to Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman after Nico Williams opted to extend his contract with Athletic Club. Lookman, who turned 27 this month and is entering the last two years of his Atalanta deal, could be available for under €50 million, although English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur is also expressing interest in the talented winger.
Bayern Munich’s Bid for Luis Díaz
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has submitted a bid to Liverpool for their Colombian winger, Luis Díaz. The reported offer amounts to €52 million, as the German champions intensify their pursuit of the 28-year-old, who has emerged as a key player for Liverpool, netting 13 goals and providing five assists in 36 league outings last season. Díaz’s potential move to Bayern puts them ahead of Barcelona, who were also linked to him.
