According to reports from Turkish outlet Hürriyet, the 18-year-old views Osimhen as the ideal attacking partner as Barcelona look to strengthen their frontline.

The report claims that Yamal believes the forward’s physical presence and movement would complement Barcelona’s attacking style and add greater depth to their forward line.

The development comes as Barcelona continue to explore long-term options to succeed veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, who is approaching the final stages of his career.

Osimhen, who currently plays for Galatasaray, is said to carry a valuation in the region of €100 million, making any potential transfer financially challenging for the Catalan club.

Barcelona’s ongoing financial constraints under LaLiga regulations mean the club may need to offload players before pursuing a major signing.

Despite the hurdles, Osimhen’s form has kept him firmly on the radar of top European clubs, with his goal-scoring record across domestic and European competitions strengthening his profile.
