The competition between the Spanish club Barcelona and the Saudi Al -Ahly caught up to sign the Nigerian Adimiola Likman, the Italian wing, during the next summer transfer period, in light of the brilliance of the remarkable player in the past two seasons.
According to press reports, the Al -Ahly administration is striving to resolve the deal to strengthen the “high -end” attack line, but Barcelona entered the line and threatens to kidnap the player, taking advantage of his desire to continue in Europe.
Al -Ahly and Barcelona were not alone in the race, as Liverpool and the French Paris Saint -Germain showed great interest in including the Nigerian star, which increases the complexity of the task in front of the Saudi team.
Lukman, 27, is one of the most prominent players in the Italian league this season, where he participated in 32 games with Atalanta, and scored 18 goals, in addition to providing 7 decisive passes, and also won the award for the best player in Africa last season.
The Al -Ahly administration raced the time to resolve the deal, amid expectations that the Saudi club will face difficulty in persuading the player to move to the Roshen League in light of the interest of the European elite clubs in its services.
