Barcelona is preparing for the summer transfer window with a clear focus on bolstering their attacking options. Their primary challenge is securing a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski, whose departure left a significant gap in the squad.
Additionally, the club aims to add another forward to support Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Injuries to these key players have repeatedly shown Barcelona's attacking vulnerabilities during the current campaign. Consequently, the club is monitoring two forwards closely: Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City.
Osimhen stands out as one of Europe’s top forwards, scoring 17 goals across all competitions this season, including seven in eight UEFA Champions League matches. He averages a goal every 117 minutes. Marmoush has been less consistent recently but is recognized for his attacking skills and versatility, capable of playing both as a winger and center forward.
So far, Barcelona has not made concrete moves to sign either player, possibly due to financial considerations or a priority focus on the Julian Alvarez deal. Nevertheless, both players remain potential targets to reinforce the club’s frontline in the near future.
Securing a dependable striker is vital for Barcelona to restore stable performances and reduce risks related to injuries of key attacking players.
