Barcelona Eyes Striker for Summer Recruitment

Replacement for Lewandowski on the Horizon

Barcelona is set on finding a new striker next summer, as there is a pressing need for a successor to Robert Lewandowski, who appears to be facing an uncertain future with the club and likely won’t be receiving a contract extension. The club has been linked with several forwards, including Julian Alvarez, Harry Kane, and Karl Etta-Eyong.

Asllani Not on Barcelona’s Radar

According to Christian Falk, the German side may have a clear advantage in their pursuit of Kosovo international Fisnik Asllani, as reports indicate that Barcelona has no interest in acquiring him for the upcoming summer transfer window.

Clarification on Asllani Rumors

“I can confirm that the rumors about Barcelona’s interest in Fisnik Asllani are false. There was speculation in Spain, but it’s not accurate,” Falk stated.

Financial Constraints and Target Profiles

Asllani would have represented a more economical option for Barcelona, which aligns with their ongoing financial challenges. Nonetheless, it becomes sensible to consider alternatives like Etta-Eyong—who has been performing well with Levante—since he resides in a similar price range and brings valuable experience in La Liga.

Big Names on the Wishlist

Barcelona’s ambition remains to secure high-profile signings, such as Alvarez and Kane. However, given the need for reinforcements in other areas, including center-back and left-wing, it is improbable that a significant investment will focus solely on a single striker. Consequently, Etta-Eyong could emerge as the frontrunner for that position, though any definitive decisions will likely be postponed until closer to the season’s end.
