Barcelona is considering Victor Osimhen as a replacement for their striker Robert Lewandowski.
Despite Lewandowski’s incredible record of 35 goals and 3 assists in 40 matches, he is 36 years old, and Osimhen, who is 10 years younger, could be a good alternative for the Spanish club.
Osimhen, who was loaned from Napoli to Galatasaray this season, has continued to deliver top-level performances. The Nigerian striker has scored 26 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 matches.
Additionally, he has been a crucial factor in helping his team towards the championship title. In his latest match, he delivered an outstanding performance, completing a hat-trick.
Osimhen’s rising fame and performances have led to interest from several European clubs. The Nigerian star has completely severed ties with Napoli, and the club is looking to sell him for a fee between €75-80 million.
This amount is quite high for Barcelona. Furthermore, financially stronger clubs, such as Arsenal and Manchester United, are seriously pursuing the player.
However, if Barcelona can complete this transfer, they will have both a strong and youthful attacking line.
