Robert Lewandowski’s time at Barcelona seems to be coming to a close, leading the club to look for an appropriate replacement. Soccernet reports that Barcelona is closely watching Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface as possible replacements for the Polish striker.
Lewandowski, who transferred to Barcelona from Bayern Munich last year for €50 million, has had a notable impact, netting 33 goals in 46 games and playing a key role in Barcelona’s La Liga triumph with 23 goals. This season, he’s continued his strong performance with six goals in eleven matches, though he hasn’t been as clinical as he was at Bayern Munich.
As Lewandowski’s tenure at Barcelona approaches its end, the club is eager to make a high-profile signing, particularly since Ferran Torres has struggled with consistent goal-scoring. According to Barca Insider, Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface are the leading candidates for this position.
Osimhen has been outstanding at Napoli for the past two years, playing a crucial role in helping the team win their first Scudetto in 33 years. In contrast, Boniface has made a strong impression at Bayer Leverkusen since joining them in the summer transfer window.
Osimhen is expected to be the pricier option, with Napoli setting his value at over €120 million. In comparison, Boniface may be more budget-friendly, as Bayer Leverkusen purchased him for €20.5 million only three months ago.
