FC Barcelona Continues to Scout the Market in Search of a Forward with Goals, Personality, and Potential. Although the names of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres have been strongly mentioned in recent months, there is an option that has gained prominence in the blaugrana offices: Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian forward, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has regained his form in Türkiye after a challenging start to the season. At 26 years old, he remains one of the most explosive strikers on the European scene, and his current situation makes him a genuine market opportunity: his 120 million clause is no longer being discussed, but rather a realistic valuation of about 60 million euros, well below what it would cost to sign Isak or Gyökeres.
Victor Osimhen Is Deco's Surprise at Barça
Deco, Barça's sporting director, has been following Osimhen for months. He knows that his profile fits with what Hansi Flick needs and seeks: physical power, space play, finishing ability, and competitive character. Above all, he knows his desire to make a leap to an ambitious project, wanting to leave Napoli for good, where his contract ends in 2026.
Barça Seeks Creative Formulas to Tackle Such an Operation. A loan with a mandatory purchase option (he would have to renew there) or an agreement that includes players is not ruled out. At Can Barça, they view Victor Osimhen favorably not only for his current level but for the media and sporting impact he could have at Camp Nou.
Meanwhile, the media talked about other profiles, AS has revealed that Victor Osimhen is Deco's hidden gem. The Galatasaray forward has convinced in technical reports, and his price has dropped enough to consider him a good market option. If the club manages to balance the accounts with key departures, Osimhen could become Barça's new '9' for 2025.
Victor Osimhen: A "bomb" for Barça
Many talk about the possible arrival of Victor Osimhen at Barça as an absolute "bomb" that no one expected. He convinces a large part of the sporting management and could become a priority. He has scored 29 goals and provided 6 assists at Galatasaray so far, so we're talking about a proven goalscorer.
A silent, strategic move with a lot of sense. That's how Deco works. That's how Barça moves, already preparing its next bomb to compete again among Europe's greats.
