E-Noticies Goodbye Barça, Tottenham pays €86M for him to score goals in the Premier League
Barça seeks a solution and looks to the market, but Tottenham speeds up with an offer to break the Premier League
The January transfer market is just around the corner and that shows in the moves that are being cooked up in recent hours. Almost all clubs will be very alert over the next 30 days to seize any opportunity that the transfer window offers. Among the main protagonists will be Barça, with several fronts open right now.
At Camp Nou, for example, there is a debate about what to do about Christensen's long-term absence, an absence that forces the defense to be reorganized. Hansi Flick doesn't want signings out of anxiety, because his plan is to reinforce only with profiles that raise the level. That idea conditions every internal conversation at Barça, even before the market opens.
The future "9" of Barça is the great priority
The other major issue is the future of the "9". Lewandowski will leave in the summer and Barça is already scanning the market to find the best possible successor. Names like Julián, Kane, or Haaland have been strongly linked, but in recent weeks the one that has gained the most weight is Samu Omorodion, center forward for Porto.
The Spain international has scored 17 goals in just 24 matches this season and fits the profile that Barça is looking for: power, aggressiveness, and presence in the box. Without a doubt, Samu Omorodion's arrival at Camp Nou would allow the Catalan club to secure the transition in the attacking line. But to Flick, Deco, and Laporta's regret, the Premier League has more resources to secure his services.
Tottenham pay 86 million so that Samu Omorodion can score goals in the Premier League
From England, sources state that Tottenham has moved ahead of Barça in the race for Samu Omorodion. In London, they are willing to pay close to 90 million to sign him in January and give him a leading role in the Premier League. The agreement is not official yet, but it seems that Spurs' intentions are firm and are not going to change.
That move would leave Barça without their main target and would force the board to activate alternatives immediately. The Catalan club can't compete in a 90 million bidding war for Samu Omorodion, so they will have to explore different profiles or creative formulas. In this regard, the name of Etta Eyong seems to be gaining more and more strength within the sports management of the culé team.
