Barcelona considers Mikel Oyarzabal as striker alternative for summer

Barcelona is reportedly looking to strengthen its attack this summer as part of its ongoing search for a new striker. After failing to secure Julian Alvarez, the club has turned its attention to Real Sociedad forward Mikel Oyarzabal. His €75 million release clause presents a significant hurdle, but sources indicate that negotiations could proceed if Real Sociedad is open to a compromise. Oyarzabal’s experience in La Liga and familiarity with current Barcelona players makes him a viable option, despite being seen as a secondary target. His skill set aligns with Barcelona’s aims to enhance intensity in their offensive strategy.
