Barcelona is actively seeking a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, prioritizing this goal for the upcoming summer transfer window. The club has identified Julian Alvarez, Joao Pedro, and Harry Kane as key targets. Although the club aims to secure a high-profile addition, financial constraints may pose a challenge.
The expectation at Barcelona is to sign a striker for around €100 million, but there’s no certainty that any of the targeted players could be available at this price. Consequently, the club is also looking into more affordable alternatives, including Karl Etta Eyong, who has been linked with the club in the past.

Earlier in the season, Barcelona monitored Etta Eyong closely when he was in good form, but his performance has dwindled over the last six months, making it difficult for him to find the net and prompting the Catalans to reconsider him for this summer’s transfer market.
Despite this, the 22-year-old, who rejected a €30 million offer from CSKA Moscow in January, remains hopeful about a move to Barcelona and is prioritizing it over any other potential opportunities, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Etta Eyong’s Future at Levante
Since joining Levante from Villarreal last summer, Etta Eyong believes his time at Levante is already coming to an end. Determined to seek a new opportunity, Barcelona remains his top choice, although he is also attracting interest from clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, and Stuttgart.

It will be intriguing to see how Etta Eyong’s situation evolves in the coming weeks. Currently, it would be unexpected for Barcelona to pursue him, but circumstances may quickly shift if they find Alvarez and Pedro to be unattainable.
