Barcelona have been offered the chance to sign Victor Osimhen but have no interest in pursuing the Nigerian striker, with the Catalan club remaining firmly focused on landing Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez as their priority signing this summer, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to Diario Sport, intermediaries approached Barcelona in recent days over a potential deal for the Galatasaray forward, but the club do not consider him part of their plans as they seek a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
The rejection does little to cool the broader interest surrounding Osimhen, who has attracted attention from virtually every major club in Europe heading into the summer window. Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Garcia Gomez, speaking to Marca, offered an insight into why the queue of suitors keeps growing.
“We have very top-level players, but in my opinion, Osimhen is among the world’s top three to five strikers,” Garcia said.
