Barcelona Eyes Osimhen as Lewandowski's Replacement

Barcelona is reportedly tracking Nigerian international Victor Osimhen as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is currently under contract until 2029. The Catalan club is aware that they will need to reinforce their No. 9 role and have several options that fit their desired profile.

Osimhen has seen his stock rise following a prolific spell in Turkey, where he scored 56 goals in 70 appearances over two seasons. Despite his impressive output, there are lingering concerns regarding his temperament, especially as he may depart Napoli in 2024.

Barcelona is also considering other candidates, including Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but doubts about the feasibility of such deals have prompted the club to widen its search. Additionally, the article mentions that Dusan Vlahovic has not renewed his contract with Juventus and is available, although he may not suit Barcelona's system.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Sesko has joined Manchester United from RB Leipzig for £76.5 million.
