"Barcelona held an interest in Eyong last summer as well, before he left Villarreal to join Levante, and continue to keep an eye on him. In fact, according to SPORT, the Blaugrana are closely following the 22-year-old centre-forward at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, where he is playing for Cameroon. The forward is one of the names Barça are considering for the upcoming summer transfer window."
"As for his club form, Eyong has scored six and assisted three goals in 15 La Liga matches for Levante this term. Even though his contract contains a €30 million release clause, there is a strong possibility that Eyong could be sold for around €15 million only, thanks to some clauses inserted in the agreement between Levante and Villarreal. Eyong would represent a low-cost option for Barcelona, a clear gamble on an emerging player"
FC Barcelona prioritize signing a centre-forward for summer 2026 as Robert Lewandowski enters the final six months of his contract. Barcelona have been linked with Julian Alvarez and Harry Kane while also tracking Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong at the Africa Cup of Nations. Barcelona explored signing Eyong earlier but salary cap restrictions prevented the move. Eyong scored the winning goal against Gabon and has six goals and three assists in 15 La Liga matches this term. His contract contains a €30 million release clause, but clauses could permit a sale near €15 million, making him a low-cost gamble.
