Etta Eyong has burst onto La Liga scene as one of the youngest standout goal scorers. At just 21 years old, he has become a revelation drawing attention in Spain and beyond. At Levante, in his initial official matches, he is surpassing expectations and making it clear that his name is being heard across the continent.

A multi-million euro clause signing with dreams of blaugranas

The start of the season brought an unusual move: Villarreal agreed to let Eyong join Levante with a highly conditional clause. They raised his buyout clause from 10 to 30 million euros, aware of his potential. FC Barcelona understood Eyong's desire to wear the blaugrana jersey, but due to salary regulations, they couldn't proceed. The Barcelona club had been keeping an eye on him since his time in Cádiz, even while Villarreal had him under contract.

In August, Barça explored acquiring him with a buyout clause close to 10 million, planning to loan him out to gain more playing time. However, the timing wasn't right, and now his value has skyrocketed. Levante paid around 3 million for the transfer, allowing Villarreal a buy-back option and granting Cádiz a share if the striker's value increases.

The deal was made possible thanks to the support of executive José Danvila, who contributed 5 million euros to complete key registrations. Levante thus secured a bet on the future, ensuring a forward with significant potential in the Spanish scene.

Rapid rise: from Villarreal to La Liga figure

Although his time at Villarreal provided limited minutes in La Liga, it was in the reserve team where Eyong shone. He made an impact with 19 goals in 30 matches in the Primera Federación. In his debut for the yellow first team, he scored his first goal in La Liga against Girona.

His move to Levante was immediate: in his debut as a Granota, he scored a goal just 10 minutes into the match against Betis. This goal confirmed that his scoring instinct is not a one-off. So far, he stands among the top scorers in the league, only trailing behind Mbappé and Julián Álvarez, with five goals to his name.

Moreover, Eyong achieved a peculiar feat: becoming one of the few footballers to score for two different clubs in the same season within the major European leagues.

His style combines a strong presence in the box with mobility into space. Initially known as a pure finisher, he has developed additional skills that make him dangerous in transitions and support play. This solidifies him as a forward with medium and long-term potential.

Why does Barça keep an eye on him?

As reported by Sport, FC Barcelona continues to closely monitor Etta Eyong despite not being able to sign him this summer. Camp Nou acknowledges that if there is room in their salary structure, they would bid for his acquisition again. It won't come cheap: a non-negotiable 30 million euros would be the price to release the attacker.

The Catalan club faces a strategic challenge: reshaping their attack in an election year. Deciding whether to stick with Lewandowski or opt for a younger, promising alternative like Eyong will be crucial. The plan was to bring him in for the future, allow him to gain experience at other clubs, and have him under their ownership. If they actualize this option now, it would be a risky but potentially high-return investment.

Meanwhile, Premier League clubs are also interested in his rising performance. This competition adds pressure for Barça to act decisively when a new transfer window opens.

As of now, there have been no public developments since the summer discussions, but the harmony between Eyong's circle and Barça remains intact. The breakthrough in Orriols may not be long in coming. FC Barcelona may not let Etta Eyong slip away, as he embodies one of the most exciting bets in La Liga's present and future.
