Barcelona Scout Levante’s Etta Eyong at AFCON in Post-Lewandowski Striker Search

Reports point to a cost-conscious move with a fee in the €15m–€30m range depending on contract clauses.

Overview

  • Barcelona are watching 22-year-old Karl Etta Eyong at AFCON 2025, with multiple reports naming him as a candidate to succeed Robert Lewandowski next summer.
  • Eyong opened Cameroon’s tournament with the only goal against Gabon and has six goals and three assists in La Liga for Levante this season.
  • Club planning prioritizes a new No. 9 as Lewandowski’s deal runs down and fitness concerns grow, with Ferran Torres currently carrying a larger attacking role under Hansi Flick.
  • Pricing signals differ by outlet, with a €30 million figure reported and separate claims that clauses from his Villarreal-to-Levante move could reduce the effective cost to around €15 million.
  • Scouts at the same match were also impressed by Cameroon and Gent defender Samuel Kotto, with coverage noting his physical profile and composure on the ball.
