Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta has made a powerful and urgent plea to club president Joan Laporta, advising the Catalan giants to move swiftly in the transfer market to secure a game-changing talent. In a message that has stirred excitement and curiosity among fans, Iniesta said:
“Sign him immediately, and you’ll never regret it!”
The player in question? None other than Ademola Lookman, the dynamic Nigerian winger who has lit up Serie A with Atalanta. Iniesta reportedly views Lookman as the perfect addition to Barcelona’s evolving project, a player whose qualities could revitalize the team’s attack and restore the club’s dominance both domestically and in Europe.
Why Lookman?At 26, Lookman has become one of Italy’s standout stars, renowned for his blistering pace, technical skill, and knack for unlocking stubborn defenses. He was a key figure in Atalanta’s historic Europa League triumph, delivering match-winning performances and showcasing an ice-cold composure in front of goal.
For Iniesta, Lookman is not just an exciting option — he is the missing piece Barcelona need to inject unpredictability and creativity into their frontline. Capable of playing on both wings, Lookman would add depth, versatility, and healthy competition to a squad looking to refresh its attacking options beyond Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
Iniesta’s Vision for Barça’s FutureIniesta, revered for his footballing intelligence, believes that Barcelona cannot rely solely on their current young stars. He stresses the importance of having proven talents like Lookman who can deliver consistently, especially in high-pressure European nights — something Barça has sorely lacked in recent campaigns.

Will Barcelona Move for Lookman?
Barcelona’s financial constraints remain a challenge, but Iniesta’s endorsement has placed Lookman firmly on the radar. His current form and relatively affordable price compared to other top-tier wingers make him an attractive target.
For a club seeking a return to European glory, ignoring Iniesta’s counsel might be a mistake. Lookman’s direct style, combined with his big-game temperament, could be exactly what the Blaugrana need to reignite their attack and challenge on all fronts next season.
As fans wait to see if Laporta and Deco heed Iniesta’s advice, one question lingers:
Will Lookman be the spark that Barcelona’s new era desperately needs?
