Serie A: Lookman challenges Dybala in the top 11

The case of Lookman has sparked a small duel over who could be the second-highest paid forward in Serie A history. At the moment, this privilege belongs to Paulo Dybala, who moved from Palermo to Juventus for 41 million euros.

Rumors are circulating about an offer from Inter for the Nigerian of 40 million euros. If accepted, this would not surpass the Joya. However, if Atalanta refuses, Inter could make a counteroffer and effectively make the switch with Roma.

But let’s look at the other positions. It was decided to line up in a 3-5-2 formation. In goal, defending the goal is Gianluigi Buffon, signed by Juventus from Parma for 59.2 million. The Old Lady is well represented in this lineup, with 8 out of 11 slots occupied.

In addition to Dybala and Buffon, there are also: Matthijs de Ligt (85.5 from Ajax) in defense, Teun Koopmeiners, Douglas Luiz (51.5 from Aston Villa), and Arthur (80.6 from Barcelona) in midfield, Federico Chiesa (57.2 from Fiorentina) wide right, and Cristiano Ronaldo (117 from Real Madrid) in attack.

With the acquisitions of the Brazilian and the Dutchman, two players like Rui Costa and Nicolò Barella were left out of this formation. Filling the remaining spaces in defense are Leonardo Spinazzola, transferred to Roma and Achraf Hakimi, who spent only one year in Italy with Inter.

On the left, Hirving Lozano edges out Rafa Leão for just half a million euros.

Will Lookman be able to enter this lineup? Stay tuned for updates.
