"Speaking on his compatriot and football legend, Etta Eyong commented that "when I was a child, I watched Eto'o's matches for Barcelona." He went on to talk about Argentine ace Lionel Messi, who recently made a surprise visit to Camp Nou. "For me, Leo Messi is the best, and playing with him would be a dream I wouldn't want to wake up from," he said."
"Barcelona is actively considering Eyong as an option once Polish striker Robert Lewandowski's contract with the Catalan club expires. The Levante player has become one of the sensations of La Liga, making him a very attractive prospect not just for his talent, but for his accessible price tag: a €30 million release clause for Spanish clubs and €40 million for foreign clubs. Aside from showing his clear preference for Barça, the young striker also revealed his high professional ambition. "In two years, I imagine myself winning the Champions League, why not in one year, and the Africa Cup of Nations is also a goal for me in a few months.""
Etta Eyong has emerged as a leading forward for Levante with six goals in 12 La Liga appearances, drawing attention from Barcelona as a potential long-term Lewandowski replacement. The Cameroon international fits Barcelona's profile due to his age, movement, and goalscoring instincts, and carries a €30m release clause for Spanish clubs (€40m for foreign clubs). Eyong expressed a clear preference to join Barcelona, cited childhood admiration for Eto'o and Lionel Messi, and stated ambitions to win the Champions League and the Africa Cup of Nations. He emphasized the importance of concentration and mental strength to succeed.
