Lookman opens La Liga account as Atletico Madrid beat Sevilla
Ademola Lookman scored his first La Liga goal of the season as Atletico Madrid secured a 3-1 victory away to Sevilla.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly preparing for the possibility of losing Julian Alvarez before the summer transfer window closes, with the club identifying two players as potential replacements. The Argentina international has expressed his desire to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona. However, the LaLiga side has ruled out any chance of selling the former Manchester City star to their Spanish counterparts.
While Atletico Madrid are open to selling Alvarez to other clubs, Barcelona remains off-limits. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to sign Alvarez to strengthen his team's attack following unsuccessful attempts to secure Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior. Spanish publication Fichajes claims Atletico are now focusing on life without Alvarez and have identified potential replacements in Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus and Nottingham Forest's Igor Jesus.
