According to Spanish journalist Gabriel Sans of El Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is monitoring Galatasaray's striker Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is a 26-year-old Nigerian who has had notable performances in the Süper Lig and Champions League. Sans reported that the club needs a top striker for the upcoming season because Robert Lewandowski's continuation is not guaranteed due to his age and a current injury. The journalist confirmed that Osimhen is on Barcelona's transfer list, but that no meetings, conversations, or negotiations have yet occurred between the parties.
Sans also noted that Barcelona's current financial situation does not permit large transfer investments, and a signing such as Osimhen would require the club to exceed its present budget. Osimhen joined the Turkish club in July 2025, has a contract until June 2029, and has scored 3 goals in 7 Süper Lig appearances this season. The forward has 44 caps and 29 goals for Nigeria. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €75.00m.
