FC Barcelona recorded a very good 4-2 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga last weekend. The player who emerged as the hero for the Catalan club was Robert Lewandowski, [who walked away with an excellent hat-trick](https://semprebarca.com/three-talking-points-as-barcelona-defeat-celta-vigo-4-2-in-la-liga/).
The Pole is 37 years old and not getting any younger. He has done very well since joining FC Barcelona from Bayern Munich. However, he is in the final few months of his contract with the Catalan club.
According to [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/victor-osimhen-mira-barcelona-verano-20251112.html), Barcelona are considering 26-year-old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as a potential replacement for Lewandowski. The ex-Napoli forward has been performing very well for Galatasaray since his permanent move there in the summer.
Osimhen has proven himself to be a prolific number nine at the highest level. He knows where the back of the net is, and his performances have earned widespread plaudits. A move to Barcelona could be the next step in his career.
Given his age, profile, and the potential cost it would take for Barcelona to sign him, Deco has earmarked him as a possible successor to the ageing Pole. Osimhen has what it takes to replicate Lewandowski’s impact.
However, Galatasaray signed Osimhen only in the summer. The Turkish side is enjoying an excellent moment and is doing very well in their league as well as the Champions League. They are unlikely to be open to a sale. Let us wait and see how things play out from a Barcelona perspective in the coming months.
