Barcelona have reignited their pursuit of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, according to a report by Todomercatoweb. The club had previously expressed interest in Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez but have now deemed Osimhen as their top priority. Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, is actively working to secure the signing of the 27-year-old, who had been on the club's shortlist during the summer.
Osimhen has started the new season impressively, scoring four goals in Galatasaray's opening two Super Lig matches and contributing 15 goals and six assists in 15 consecutive matches in the league. The Nigerian's impressive form has made him a credible target for Barcelona as they search for attacking solutions ahead of the transfer window's closing stages.
Despite Galatasaray's insistence that they do not want to sell Osimhen, the club's stance is reportedly facing increasing pressure from other interested parties, including Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
