Barcelona closely monitoring Man City and Galatasaray forwards as potential summer targets | Barca Universal

"Barcelona are keeping tabs on two key attackers in the form of Victor Osimhen and Omar Marmoush. This is according to The Athletic, which suggests that both Marmoush and Osimhen have emerged as 'low-tier' alternatives to the club's primary target, Julian Alvarez."

"Osimhen, who made a shock €75 million move to Galatasaray last summer, remains one of Europe's most lethal strikers. He has racked up as many as 17 goals in all competitions this season, seven of which came in just eight matches in the UEFA Champions League."

"Marmoush, on the other hand, has been nowhere near as consistent. However, there are no doubts about the Egyptian's attacking prowess and ability to not only zip past defenders but also score goals. Not to mention, he is far more versatile than Osimhen, having the ability to operate both as a winger and as a centre forward."

Barcelona seeks attacking reinforcements this summer, prioritizing a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski and additional depth for Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Injuries to Yamal and Raphinha have repeatedly exposed the team's attacking vulnerabilities, making competition for these positions critical. The club is monitoring Victor Osimhen and Omar Marmoush as secondary alternatives to their primary target, Julian Alvarez. Osimhen, currently at Galatasaray, has scored 17 goals across all competitions this season, averaging one goal every 117 minutes. Marmoush, playing under Pep Guardiola, offers greater versatility as both winger and centre forward, though his form has recently declined. Barcelona has not yet made concrete moves for either player, suggesting ongoing financial considerations or focus on the Alvarez negotiations.
