Barcelona is gearing up for a crucial UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash, where they’ll welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Camp Nou next Wednesday. Under the guidance of coach Hansi Flick, the team is focused on achieving a strong result at home to bolster their chances in the challenging return leg in Germany at Signal Iduna Park.
According to El Nacional, the club is actively searching for a striker who can challenge Robert Lewandowski and eventually take over the role in the long run. In this context, rising star Lamine Yamal has voiced his preference, recommending Porto’s forward Samu Agihewah as an ideal fit for Barcelona’s attacking needs.
Agihewah, just 20 years old, has impressed since his move from Atlético Madrid to Porto in the summer of 2024, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess and adaptability. Yamal, who previously played alongside him in Spain’s youth setup, sees him not only as a bright talent but as a future leading striker for the national team. He believes Agihewah could benefit from learning under Lewandowski for a year before stepping into the lead striker role.
The young striker’s ability to play in multiple attacking roles and his sharp finishing have drawn attention from major European clubs. Barcelona is now seriously evaluating his signing, viewing it as both a smart financial move and a sporting one—especially as his transfer fee is expected to be within reach, despite Porto’s reluctance to part ways easily.
With Lamine Yamal backing the move and Deco involved in the negotiations, Barcelona is optimistic about securing Agihewah’s signature. If successful, the club could be setting the foundation for a new era in attack, with Agihewah playing a central role in the future.
