Barcelona continue to keep tabs on in-demand Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen

Fenerbahce V Galatasaray Turkish Super League Osimhen

Barcelona are intensifying their interest in Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as they plan for the 2025 summer transfer window.

Sporting director Deco is reportedly keeping a close eye on the forward, who has been in sensational form this season.

While Robert Lewandowski remains the club’s primary striker for the current campaign, Barcelona are already looking ahead to the future.

At 25, Osimhen represents an ideal candidate to spearhead their attack next season. His youth, combined with a consistent scoring record, makes him a valuable prospect for the Catalan giants.

Currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, the Nigerian international has delivered an impressive 12 goals and five assists in just 15 matches, underlining his prowess in front of goal.

His performances have not gone unnoticed, and Barcelona see him as a long-term replacement for Lewandowski.

Napoli, however, have set a steep €75 million price tag for Osimhen, though reports suggest the Italian side may entertain a player-plus-cash deal.

As the transfer window approaches, Barcelona will need to navigate financial constraints while trying to secure one of Europe’s most in-demand strikers.

Osimhen’s form and potential make him a priority target, and the coming months will be crucial in determining whether Barca can bring the Nigerian star to Camp Nou.
