Barcelona continue to plan for life after Robert Lewandowski and one of the strikers they’re keeping an eye on, Karl Etta Eyong, reportedly wants to settle a transfer to his next club during the upcoming January transfer window.
Etta Eyong is one of the names being analyzed by Barcelona’s sporting hierarchy to succeed the veteran Pole whose contract will expire at the end of the season, per . The 22-year-old striker has a €30 million ($34.6 million) release clause for La Liga teams, a lighter sum that what Barcelona would have to unload to sign other more established center forwards.
The Villarreal owned striker left on loan to Levante on deadline day over the summer. Having already played for two clubs this season, FIFA regulations prevent him from joining another team in 2025–26.
Still, the Cameroon international doesn’t want to wait until next summer to figure out his future. Etta Eyong reportedly wants to complete a move in January and play the remainder of the season with Levante before joining his next club.
The Catalans explored a possible move for the 22-year-old during the twilight of the summer window, but their precarious Financial Fair Play situation made a potential transfer impossible. Yet, according to , Etta Eyong was and remains keen on joining the Blaugranas.
