Despite ongoing financial challenges, the Catalan giants are reportedly determined to strengthen their attack with a proven goalscorer — and Osimhen has emerged as a leading candidate. The Nigerian forward, currently one of Europe’s most feared strikers, has impressed scouts with his pace, power, and consistency in front of goal.
Sources close to Barcelona indicate that the club views Osimhen as a long-term replacement capable of leading their front line for years to come. However, securing his signature would not come cheap. Napoli are expected to demand a fee in excess of €100 million, and Osimhen’s current salary could also pose a challenge under La Liga’s strict financial regulations.
Nevertheless, Barcelona believe that with proper restructuring and potential player sales, the deal could be achievable. Club officials are said to be exploring creative financial strategies, including sponsorship-backed funding, to make such a move possible.
Osimhen himself has previously expressed admiration for Spanish football and could be tempted by the chance to play for one of the world’s most historic clubs. His arrival would signal a statement of intent from Barcelona — a declaration that the club is ready to rebuild its dominance at the top of European football.
If talks progress, this could become one of the headline transfer stories of next summer, as Barcelona aim to bring one of Africa’s brightest stars to the Camp Nou.
