Barcelona is preparing for a decisive match in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, as they host Borussia Dortmund at the Camp Nou in Catalonia next Wednesday. Coach Hansi Flick’s team aims to secure a positive result to aid them in the tough return leg at Signal Iduna Park.
According to information from ‘‘El Nacional‘‘ newspaper, Barcelona continues its search for a striker capable of competing with Robert Lewandowski and securing the future of the team’s attack. In this context, young star Lamine Yamal has expressed his opinion, believing that Porto’s striker, Samu Agihewah, would be the ideal option to meet the club’s needs.
At just 20 years old, Agihewah has proven his exceptional abilities in Portugal since joining from Atlético Madrid last summer, consistently scoring goals. Lamine Yamal sees Agihewah as more than just a promising talent, but believes he will become Spain’s top striker in the next decade. At Barcelona, Agihewah could learn from Lewandowski for a year before becoming the team’s main striker. The club has already begun studying his transfer as a serious option.
Samu Agihewah, at 20, has become one of Porto’s standout players this season. After his move from Atlético Madrid in the summer of 2024, the young striker has shown extraordinary goal-scoring skills, making him a key figure in the Portuguese team. Thanks to his versatile playing style, where he can operate as an attacking midfielder or second striker, along with his superb finishing ability, Agihewah has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Barcelona.
Lamine Yamal, who shared a dressing room with Agihewah in the Spanish youth national team, has been one of the biggest supporters of his potential move to Barcelona. The young Barcelona winger believes that Agihewah has all the qualities needed to succeed at the club and can be the heir to Lewandowski. The club plans to bring Agihewah in this summer, allowing the young striker to adapt to Barcelona’s style of play, gain experience in top-tier competitions, and prepare for taking over as the main striker in the future.
One aspect that makes Agihewah an attractive option for Barcelona is his market value. Although Porto does not intend to sell him easily, the Spanish striker is unlikely to demand an exorbitant price, making him a fitting choice for the club given its current financial constraints. In line with adhering to Financial Fair Play regulations, Agihewah represents a practical and strategic alternative.
Negotiations are expected to accelerate in the coming weeks. With the support of Lamine Yamal and guidance from Deco in the talks, Barcelona has an opportunity to sign a young player with immense potential, capable of making a difference. It is clear that Barcelona’s attacking future, with Agihewah on their radar, holds exciting prospects.
