Victor Osimhen has been mentioned as a possible transfer target for Barcelona this summer as the Catalans look for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
Julian Alvarez remains the club’s top choice but Osimhen’s name keeps on popping up in the rumor mill ahead of the summer transfer window.
Mithat Halis, a renowned FIFA agent who has links to Osimhen, says that the striker could end up at Real Madrid or Barcelona this summer.
“Signing Osimhen is very realistic. It would even exceed €100 million. His transfer could be between Real Madrid and Barcelona. One has given up on Lewandowski. The other doesn’t have a center forward,” he said, per AS.
“Real Madrid hasn’t had a center forward since Karim Benzema’s time. They are forced to play Mbappé and Vinicius as strikers.
“If they sign Osimhen, Mbappé and Vinicius will play in their natural positions, as wingers, and will be more effective. Victor Osimhen would be a very functional player for Real Madrid.”
Osimhen remains one of the most prolific strikers in Europe and has 19 goals in the Turkish Super Lig and Champions League so far this season.
