UEFA Champions League
FC Barcelona does not want to fall behind in the market and is quietly working on an alternative in case the arrival of Julián Álvarez, the main offensive target of the sports management, becomes complicated.
Aware that the competition for the Argentine forward will be intense, FC Barcelona has set its sights on Victor Osimhen, the current standout player of Galatasaray, and is willing to prepare an offer close to 120 million to secure his transfer in the summer.
FC Barcelona seriously considers Victor Osimhen as an option
The technical secretariat of FC Barcelona believes that Victor Osimhen fits perfectly into the sports project due to his power, speed, and goal-scoring ability.
Although Julián Álvarez remains the priority, the club understands it cannot depend on a single move, hence evaluating a significant financial effort to bring in the Nigerian if the primary deal does not materialize.
From Turkey, sports media highlight that Galatasaray is willing to negotiate if an offer of 120 million is made, a figure that FC Barcelona is already carefully considering for the upcoming market.

Victor Osimhen, an elite signing if Julián Álvarez deal falls through
Victor Osimhen's performance has been outstanding since joining Galatasaray, where he has accumulated statistics justifying his market value and his status as a star in European football.
FC Barcelona sees him as an immediate impact forward, capable of leading the attack and providing a scoring contribution that the team needs, especially after the inconsistency experienced in recent seasons.
Simultaneously, the club is in touch regarding Julián Álvarez, but it knows that his departure from Atlético de Madrid will not be easy or inexpensive, necessitating solid alternatives to avoid wasting time or options once the market opens.
A second target that fits Barça's style
In addition to his physical strength, Victor Osimhen stands out for his mobility and offensive reading, attributes that could align well with the playing style of FC Barcelona.
The Nigerian also brings experience in European competitions, a factor that the board particularly values during this renewal process of the Blaugrana's attack.
Meanwhile, the monitoring of Julián Álvarez continues, but competition for the Argentine is increasing, complicating timelines and necessitating acceleration of other scenarios.
The role of Galatasaray and the 120 million on the table
The operation for Victor Osimhen will also depend on Galatasaray's stance, with the Turkish club aware that it holds one of the most valuable forwards in its league and not willing to give him away.
Initial reports indicate that the Turkish side will only consider a sale if the offer exceeds 120 million, a sum that would place the player among the highest transfers in the next market.
FC Barcelona, mindful of its financial situation, is exploring various options to handle such a significant operation without jeopardizing other areas of the sports project.
A market that looks to be crucial for FC Barcelona
While the club continues to prioritize Julián Álvarez, the sports management does not want to miss out on a top striker and keeps the option of Victor Osimhen very much alive.
Both profiles are highly favored within the Blaugrana sphere, but availability and cost will ultimately determine the final decision on the next star signing.
In the end, FC Barcelona knows that its success in the market will depend on outmaneuvering the competition and precisely managing such a significant investment as the 120 million earmarked to strengthen its forward line.
