Barcelona divided over blockbuster striker signing despite stunning goal record

Replacing Robert Lewandowski is becoming one of the biggest missions facing Barcelona, and the club’s discussions appear to be revealing just how complicated that decision could become.

There is currently no full agreement within Barcelona’s sporting structure regarding the possible signing of Victor Osimhen, despite the striker continuing to establish himself as one of the most dangerous forwards in world football.

As per the outlet, the Nigerian striker remains highly admired because of his goalscoring ability, physical power and aggressive attacking style.

One option if others fail
Despite his obvious capabilities, concerns exist within the club over whether his overall profile truly fits the long-term project Barcelona want to build after Lewandowski’s departure.

At the moment, the report claims Barcelona still prioritise other attacking targets ahead of Osimhen, particularly Julian Alvarez and Joao Pedro.

That means Osimhen may only become a serious option later in the transfer window if Barcelona fail to secure their preferred choices first.

There are doubts
There is no questioning Osimhen’s impact in front of goal, with the Galatasaray striker finishing the season with 22 goals and eight assists.

His profile is exactly what many teams search for in a modern striker, but concerns remain regarding how the forward would adapt within the dressing room environment and whether his personality could create complications internally over time.
