Barcelona Drop Plan To Sign Osimhen In January

Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona have ruled out making a move for Lille and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

Marca reports that Osimhen was identified as one of the candidates to replace Luis Suarez at the Camp Nou.

However, the Catalan club are unwilling to add any player to their squad during the January transfer window.

The Spanish champions paid close to 200 million euros for Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong from Atletico Madrid and Ajax respectively in the summer.

Their transfer priorities for the next summer transfer window are a central defender, right-back, central midfielder and striker.

Naija News reports that the Super Eagles striker has also been linked to Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.
