Barcelona presented with chance to secure two high-profile strikers | OneFootball

According to SPORT, Dusan Vlahovic and Victor Osimhen have both been offered to Barcelona as the club begins to plan for life after Robert Lewandowski.

The veteran Polish striker, now 36 and soon to be 37, continues to defy expectations with his prolific goal-scoring performances.

However, the reality of his advancing age has raised concerns about Barcelona’s long-term reliance on him, prompting the club to explore potential replacements for the future.

While Jonathan David remains a potential target for the summer, the arrival of Vlahovic and Osimhen on the radar adds more options to the mix. But the situation is far from simple.

Juventus want to get rid of Vlahovic

Vlahovic, who has struggled to maintain his initial form at Juventus, is reportedly looking for a way out. Juventus, eager to offload him, could sell the Serbian striker at a reduced price.

His contract runs until 2026, but with little chance of renewal, he could be included in a bargaining deal with Barcelona. However, it appears that Vlahovic is not a top priority for the Catalan club at the moment.

This is because the player’s dip in form, having scored just 14 goals- a number relatively lower for a striker- and his inconsistent performances have made him a less appealing option despite the potential financial savings.

What about Osimhen?

On the other hand, Osimhen has been enjoying an impressive spell on loan at Galatasaray after his stint with Napoli.

The Nigerian forward is in high demand after consistently finding the back of the net, and his contract clause is set at €75 million, which is negotiable.

However, Osimhen’s value and the high expectations from both the player and his current club make him a far more expensive and complex option for Barcelona.

Ball in Barcelona’s court

At this stage, it seems that Barcelona must carefully weigh their options. Lewandowski’s future, while still solid, is approaching its twilight years, and the club must act soon to secure a reliable successor.

However, with both Vlahovic and Osimhen requiring substantial investments, the club must decide if these names fit into their long-term strategy or if other more feasible options are worth pursuing.

At last, the decision lies in Barcelona’s hands as they evaluate how to balance the financial considerations, the player profiles, and their future needs in attack.
