With Robert Lewandowski’s departure looming, Barcelona have intensified their pursuit of Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong.
Club scouts are currently in Morocco for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations to monitor the 22-year-old Cameroon international.
Faced with financial constraints that make targets like Harry Kane or Julian Alvarez improbable, Sporting Director Deco has identified Etta Eyong as a high-value, “low-cost” alternative.
Levante is expected to accept an offer in the region of €30 million.
Barça view the youngster as a long-term project who can compete with Ferran Torres and eventually develop into a world-class number nine.
Recent reports from Fabrizio Romano confirm that Barcelona’s interest has transitioned from general monitoring to active scouting during his AFCON performances.
While the club’s financial woes continue to dictate their transfer strategy, Etta Eyong’s profile as a clinical, attainable talent makes him a frontrunner to land at the Spotify Camp Nou next summer.
