Spanish giants Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for Galatasaray forward, Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Barca Universal, the 27-year-old is among a number of strikers the Blaugrana are keeping tabs on as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
However, the situation is far from straightforward, with several attacking options still under internal review.
Atlético Madrid forward, Julian Alvarez is the top candidate to succeed Lewandowski, however, uncertainty remains over a possible move for the Argentina international, and Barcelona are evaluating alternative options for the striker’s position.
Consequently, the club continues scanning the market, unwilling to rush into a defining decision. Strategic patience appears central to their recruitment approach.
