Karl Etta Eyong has become a major transfer target for FC Barcelona after his outstanding form for UD Levante this season.

The 22-year-old Cameroonian forward has scored six goals and provided three assists in ten matches, drawing attention from several elite European clubs.

Barcelona lead the race, determined to secure his signature ahead of Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo reveal that Barcelona plan to sign Etta Eyong during the January 2026 transfer window.

The club intends to complete the deal early but allow him to remain at Levante until the end of the season before joining them in the summer of 2026.

Barcelona view the young Cameroonian as a strong addition to their future attacking setup.

His pace, composure, and sharp eye for goal have impressed scouts across Europe.

Etta Eyong’s consistent form has also raised his market value, with Transfermarkt estimating him at €20 million.

The striker remains under contract with UD Levante until June 2029, giving the Spanish club leverage in any transfer negotiations.

Despite that, Barcelona appear ready to meet Levante’s valuation to ensure they win the race for his services.

Etta Eyong’s development has been remarkable since joining Levante.

His finishing, creativity, and determination have made him a standout performer in La Liga.

His performances continue to strengthen his reputation as one of Africa’s brightest football talents.

Barcelona’s sporting department has placed him high on their priority list as they prepare for future campaigns.

The Catalan side’s interest in young, versatile players aligns with their long-term rebuilding strategy.

As speculation around his future grows, Etta Eyong stays focused on his duties at Levante.

The forward will look to maintain his fine form when his team faces Celta Vigo in their next league match.
