Barcelona is actively seeking a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, making it their primary objective for the upcoming summer transfer window. While Julian Alvarez, Joao Pedro, and Harry Kane have been identified as top targets, the club’s financial situation could complicate the acquisition of a high-profile striker. Barcelona aims to sign a forward for approximately €100 million, but there’s no guarantee that any of the mentioned players would be available at that price. Consequently, less expensive alternatives are also being considered. One such player previously linked with Barcelona is Karl Etta Eyong.
Barcelona had shown interest in Etta Eyong earlier in the season when he was performing well. However, his form has dipped in the last six months, with the Cameroon international struggling to find the back of the net, leading the Catalan club to reassess him as a summer option. Despite this, the 22-year-old, who rejected a €30 million transfer to CSKA Moscow in January, remains hopeful of a move to Barcelona. According to reports, he intends to prioritize joining the La Liga champions over any other opportunities that may arise this summer.
Etta Eyong Considers Levante Career Over
Etta Eyong joined Levante from Villarreal last summer but now believes his time with the Valencian club is at an end. He is determined to find a new club, with Barcelona being his preferred destination, though he is also being monitored by clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, and Stuttgart.
The unfolding situation of Etta Eyong in the coming weeks will be closely watched. At present, a move for him by Barcelona would be surprising. However, circumstances can change rapidly if the Catalan giants find that targets like Alvarez and Pedro are financially out of reach.
