Barca to battle Madrid for Osimhen
Barcelona are set to battle rivals Real Madrid for the signature of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this summer, with both Spanish giants eyeing the Napoli forward who has been in sensational form during his loan spell at Galatasaray, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Following a surprise loan move to the Turkish champions last summer, Osimhen has lit up the Turkish League, having scored 29 goals in 33 competitive matches since joining the club.
According to reports from Diario AS, Barcelona see Osimhen as a potential alternative to Robert Lewandowski. While the Catalan club remain committed to the Polish striker leading their attack next season, they are open to market opportunities that could strengthen their squad.
The Nigeria international’s brilliant performances haven’t gone unnoticed across Europe, with several top clubs lining up to secure his services when his loan deal at Galatasaray expires at the end of the season.
