Having scored four goals in five La Liga games for Levante, Karl Etta Eyong is attracting interest from Europe's biggest clubs. According to the Spanish press, a move to Barça could have been possible this summer, and the Catalan club is in the running to secure the Cameroonian's services next summer.

In the ranking of La Liga's top scorers, there's Kylian Mbappé (9 goals in eight games) and the others. Among them, a young Cameroonian striker continues to impress. Third in the ranking between Atlético's Julian Alvarez and Real's Vinicius, Karl Etta Eyong already has five goals for Villarreal (3 games) and Levante (5 games). This should automatically attract the attention of some of Europe's top clubs, attracted by the mobility and contribution to the game of the center forward, who has already provided three assists in the league.

This Monday, Sport revealed that a move to FC Barcelona narrowly fell through in the final days of the summer transfer window. After monitoring him at Cadiz, the Blaugrana let him slip to Villarreal. And the club's financial situation prevented it from shelling out the several million Karl Etta Eyong was worth this summer. The idea of signing him on loan was even discussed, but Spanish Financial Fair Play rules once again paralyzed Barça.

The Lewandowski case still to be managed

Have the Catalans missed their chance? Perhaps, since the player's market value is skyrocketing. With a €30 million release clause, several Premier League clubs are ready to open their checkbooks. But Barça won't admit defeat. According to Sport, the player would prefer a transfer to Barça if he had the choice, even though no new steps have been taken since the transfer window closed.

It remains to be seen how the club will handle the end of Robert Lewandowski's career. At 37, the Polish striker is expected to stay on for another season, while reducing his salary. He is even reportedly willing to accept a role as Barcelona's second striker.

Given the results of the last few days (2-1 defeat against PSG in the Champions League and 4-1 humiliation against Sevilla in La Liga), it is perhaps on defense that the Blaugranas should focus in the next transfer markets.
