Barcelona is scouting two Nigerian forwards as potential successors to Lewandowski

Having transferred from Bayern Munich to Barcelona last season for €50 million, Lewandowski has delivered commendable performances, netting 33 goals in 46 outings for the Catalan giants and contributing significantly to their La Liga campaign with 23 goals.

Kicking off the current season on a positive note, Lewandowski has bagged six goals across 11 matches. Despite this, he has yet to recapture the relentless, goal-scoring prowess that characterized his tenure at Bayern Munich.

With indications that Lewandowski's chapter at Barcelona may close, the club is reportedly considering headline-worthy signings, especially as Ferran Torres has yet to establish himself as a dependable goal-scorer.

Barca Insider points to Osimhen and Boniface as the duo being closely observed by Barcelona.

Osimhen has been in outstanding form at Napoli, playing a pivotal role in their chase for their first Italian league title in over three decades.

On the other hand, Boniface has been making a significant impact at Bayer Leverkusen since his move there in the recent summer transfer period.

While acquiring Osimhen could come with a hefty price tag, given Napoli's valuation exceeding €120 million, Boniface could be a more economical choice, considering Bayer Leverkusen secured his services for just €20.5 million a mere three months prior.
