Barcelona has been approached regarding a transfer for Victor Osimhen, currently at Galatasaray. Despite the Nigerian forward’s strong reputation and goalscoring ability, the club is sticking to its original plans for this summer’s transfer window. Barcelona aims to sign Julián Álvarez as their primary attacking target. The decision reflects a commitment to a previously established recruitment strategy, and any shift in focus to Osimhen would only occur if negotiations for Álvarez fall through.
