La Liga giants Barcelona have added a new name, in Victor Osimhen, to their shortlist of centre-forward targets.
That’s according to Spanish journalist Gabriel Sans of Mundo Deportivo, who has confirmed that the Nigerian’s situation is being closely monitored by the reigning Spanish champions.
Barcelona are widely expected to dip into the market for reinforcement up top for the 2026/27 campaign.
As much comes with the contract of star frontman Robert Lewandowski due to come to an end.
With a renewal for the Pole looking unlikely, Deco and the Camp Nou brass have therefore long kicked into gear a search for a replacement for Lewandowski.
And as alluded to above, this week, a fresh name has been floated in the media.
Speaking during an interview with Turkish outlet Radyospor (via Get Spanish Football) Gabriel Sans provided the following insight into Barcelona’s mounting interest in the services of Galatasaray frontman Victor Osimhen:“Barcelona needs a very good centre-forward and is looking for one for next season. It’s not guaranteed whether Lewandowski will stay on. He’s 37 years old and currently injured, so it’s unknown how he’ll return.

“From this perspective, Victor Osimhen is a player Barcelona wants. That’s certain, but there have been no meetings, no discussions between the parties, and no negotiations. Osimhen is definitely on Barcelona’s transfer list today, but we need to look at Lewandowski’s situation.
“We don’t know how his future at the club will shape up. Osimhen is all about goals and success. Yes… Barcelona is keeping a close eye on him.”

@ MONKEY POST, you haven’t been doing your assigned task for days now. You don tire for Osi-Osi matter? Hahahahah.
Like I told you in my comments some days ago, if you run from Osi-Osi matter, you are a coward.
We command you to complete all your Osi-Osi daily tasks. You have been roped, no going back for you.
Osihem will add a deadly dimension to Barcelona that will make them unplayable. Imagine osihmen pressing from the front line giving Lamal ample room to operate. I cant wait to see such a deady combo
Can Barcelona match his current 400k per week wage….?
Are they ready to splash 75m on a foreign non-EU player at this time of their financial crunch….?
I don’t think so.
I see this as mere empty speculation…!
