FC Barcelona are eyeing the former Atletico Madrid striker, Samu Aghehowa, and another world-class attacker in the summer transfer window, where the combined transfer fee might soar up to a staggering €100m.
At present, Samu Aghehowa is playing for FC Porto and is in red-hot form, establishing himself as one of the top talents in world football at this point in time.
As per ESPN, the Spanish sharpshooter has scored 20 goals in just 30 matches across all competitions for Porto, enticing many European giants to keep a tab on him with the intention of luring him in the upcoming summer.
Who is Barcelona’s “other” target?
As per BarcaUniversal, Ademola Lookman is the most exciting name that is popping out of the rumours regarding FC Barcelona's transfer plans for the summer.
Since leaving Fulham in 2022, the Nigerian winger has made an extraordinary turnaround in his career after joining Atalanta, leading his side to the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League glory while also winning the 2024 African Player of the Year award.
At the moment, Hansi Flick has assembled a formidable attack up front, which comprises Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal; however, there are not many suitable backups available in the club for the trio.
On top of this, several rumours are also claiming that Barca's young sensation, Fermin Lopez, might be considering a potential departure in the upcoming transfer window, which would leave a massive void in the squad.
Therefore, the 27-time La Liga winners will surely be eyeing a couple of attacking signings in the summer, with Lookman and Aghehowa reported to be checking all the boxes on their list.
What makes Lookman and Aghehowa suitable future Culers?
Ademola Lookman’s electrifying impact for Atalanta and his national team, Nigeria, for the past two years has been extremely hard to overlook.
On top of that, he naturally operates from the left-hand side, which meets the Catalan giants’ primary criteria in their latest search for an addition in their attack.
On the other hand, Aghehowa is truly a promising number nine, whose added physical abilities and aerial prowess make him an ideal replacement for the ageing Barcelona talisman, Robert Lewandowski.
Therefore, there is no doubt that these two world-class talents will certainly add a significant depth to the squad that Barcelona and Hansi Flick crucially require for the foreseeable future.
