The departure of the Polish goalscorer has left a significant void in the Catalan club's attack, prompting them to evaluate several high-profile candidates for the upcoming season.

Victor Osimhen has been on Barcelona's radar for months, but he is not the only name on their list.

The Norwegian captain has been in prolific form, scoring seven goals in just four matches to guide his nation to the quarter-finals, including a decisive brace in Norway's 2-1 Round of 16 victory over Brazil.

Despite her usual support for Osimhen, Oshoala publicly agreed that Barcelona should spare no expense to sign Haaland.

Responding to a social media post advocating for the Norwegian's signing, the former Barça Femení star concurred that such a massive investment would be worthwhile.

The post on X, which says, “Break the bank, FC Barcelona”, was responded to by Oshoala: "He is worth it.”

European powerhouses Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been linked with the 27-year-old, alongside long-time admirers Atlético Madrid. However, Osimhen appears to be in no hurry to leave his current club, Galatasaray.
