Victor Osimhen has emerged as a leading alternative for Barcelona as they intensify plans to sign a new striker this summer, according to Catalunya Radio.

That has pushed Barcelona’s sporting department, led by Deco, to focus on more attainable options, with Osimhen high on the shortlist.
Currently at Galatasaray, the Nigerian striker is well known to Barcelona after previous European encounters and is valued for his physicality, movement, and proven goal-scoring pedigree.
However, any potential move remains complicated. Osimhen’s current contract includes a substantial salary package, which could present a major obstacle given Barcelona’s ongoing financial constraints.
