World Sports: Osimhen is back on Barcelona’s radar, the player’s high price is the biggest obstacle to the transfer

October 30th According to "World Sports News", as early as 2024, Barcelona has included Osimhen, who plays for Naples, on the list of forward signings to prevent Lewandowski from leaving the team. Later, Lewandowski expressed his wish to stay with the club through his agent Zahavi, but there is still uncertainty about his stay next season, so Osimhen has once again become one of Barcelona's priority targets. Osimhen's high price puts him in the same level as super forwards such as Haaland.

Osimhen currently plays for Galatasaray. The club paid 75 million euros to introduce him and signed a contract with him until 2029. Unless the player himself strongly demands a transfer, it will be difficult for a player like him to be introduced at a high price to leave easily. This strategy of players actively asking to leave the team is exactly what Barcelona has often used in the past. After all, Osimhen is a top center with a strong sense of scoring goals.

Osimhen's data this season is enough to attract Barcelona's interest. In Galatasaray's 13 games, Osimhen played 9 times and scored 6 goals. In the European war, he missed the first game against Eintracht Frankfurt due to an ankle sprain, but then scored against Liverpool and Bode Shine. In the Turkish Super League, he missed 3 games, one due to injury and the other two due to sub-optimal physical condition.

However, whether Barcelona will officially pursue Osimhen still depends on the club's financial situation. The club knows that any move to bring in top strikers will require huge investment. Therefore, sports director Deco has made it clear that whether it is Lewandowski's contract extension or the signing of a new "No. 9", unless there is a very cost-effective market opportunity, it will be temporarily shelved.
