FC Barcelona are reportedly preparing a contingency plan in their ongoing search for a new striker, with Victor Osimhen emerging as a potential alternative if their pursuit of Julián Álvarez fails.
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants have identified Osimhen as a viable option to strengthen their attacking line ahead of the upcoming season. While Álvarez remains the primary target, uncertainties surrounding his availability and negotiations have forced Barcelona to explore other high-profile names.
Osimhen, currently one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards, has built a strong reputation with his pace, physicality, and clinical finishing. The Nigerian striker has been instrumental for Napoli and Galatasaray in recent seasons, attracting interest from several top clubs across the continent.
Barcelona’s interest signals their intent to add a proven goal-scorer to their squad as they aim to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe. Financial constraints, however, remain a key factor, and any move for Osimhen would likely depend on player sales or favorable transfer terms.
