Barcelona have renewed their interest in Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen after failing to make headway in their pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, according to a report by Todomercatoweb.
The Italian digital sports news outlet reported that having failed to achieve the desired outcome in the Alvarez chase, the Spanish club now regard Osimhen as a priority target and are expected to act soon.
TeamTalk also reported that Barcelona sporting director Deco has stepped up the club’s pursuit of the Nigerian, who had featured on Barcelona’s shortlist during the summer as a fallback option.
Osimhen is considered a more attainable target than Alvarez and represents a credible option for a club still searching for attacking solutions ahead of the closing stages of the transfer window.
