Karl Etta Eyong began the season strongly with six goals in ten matches, drawing attention including links to Barcelona during the January transfer window. His momentum faded in the second half, where he scored only one goal, finishing the season with seven goals. Despite the decline, he still wants to join Barcelona and has rejected an offer from CSKA Moscow worth €6 million. Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing a new striker after Robert Lewandowski’s departure, and Eyong is open to playing as a secondary option under Hansi Flick in the number nine role. Other clubs including Tottenham, Everton, and Stuttgart are also interested, but he is prepared to wait for Barcelona. He aims to follow Samuel Eto’o’s path.
"The report adds that Eyong doesn't see himself as a guaranteed starter at Barcelona. But at a time when Lewandowski is leaving, the 22-year-old is more than happy to act as a secondary option for Hansi Flick in the number nine position. He is young and has room for growth. Not to mention, Barcelona's poor economic situation may see them miss out on the opportunity to sign a big-name striker this summer, although they have received encouraging updates on Julian Alvarez in the past 24 hours."
