Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is on loan at Galatasaray, is attracting interest from Europe's top clubs, Zamin.uz reports.

However, his potential move to Barcelona is being questioned by specialists. Although the striker has shown high efficiency, his playing style does not align with the philosophy of the Catalan club, it is emphasized.

This is reported by Goal.com. Osimhen has scored 22 goals and provided 8 assists in all competitions for Galatasaray this season.

He played a significant role in helping the team win the national championship. His impressive performances have drawn interest from major clubs such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Chelsea.

However, it is suggested that the Barcelona option may be closed for the player. Former Fenerbahçe striker Serdar Dursun, in an interview, explained the difficulty of Osimhen adapting to Barcelona's system.

In his view, while the Nigerian forward possesses a strong sense of goal, his technical level does not meet the standards required by the Catalan club. Dursun does not deny Osimhen's talent but emphasizes the lack of refined technique.

Barcelona traditionally favors players who excel in ball control and complex passing combinations. Osimhen, on the other hand, is seen more as a physically strong and fast attacker.

For this reason, reports suggest that the Catalan leadership has shifted its focus to other candidates. In particular, the club is considering Julian Alvarez as an alternative to Osimhen.

The Argentine striker's versatility and ability to adapt to team play make him a priority target. Osimhen's loan spell at Galatasaray is set to end soon, and his future remains uncertain.

If doubts about his technical ability persist among other top clubs, the striker may be more likely to choose a Premier League team that better suits his playing style. For now, Victor Osimhen remains one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe, but the gates of Camp Nou may remain closed to him.
