CSKA Moscow have made an offer of up to €30 million to Levante for Etta Eyong, according to Cadena SER. The Russian side have been in touch with a bid of €25m plus variables that would bring the total closer to €30m. Eyong is thought to have a release clause in his contract set at €30m. Eyong has caught the eye this season at Levante and been linked with several clubs including Barca.
Etta Eyong has been grabbing attention from top clubs across Europe thanks to his eye-catching performances for UD Levante this season. Among the many clubs pursuing the young centre-forward are reigning La Liga champions FC Barcelona, who had their sights on the Cameroonian last summer as well. The 22-year-old forward is one of several candidates that the Blaugrana are looking at as potential successors to Robert Lewandowski.
Etta Eyong has become a man in demand in European football after his explosive performances in La Liga this year, first with Villarreal and now with Levante, whom he joined in the summer. FC Barcelona, for one, have been admirers of the Cameroonian international for a while now. Having explored a move for the 22-year-old in the summer, the Blaugrana have identified him as a possible candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski in 2026.
"Lewandowski has managed to score so many goals throughout his career. \"It's really impressive what he's doing at Barcelona right now. He is a great finisher and has intelligent movement. \"He always seems to know the right time to ask for the ball. I can learn a lot from him. \"When we play Barcelona next [in February at the Camp Nou], I hope to get Lewandowski's shirt to add to my collection."
