Porto forward Samu Omorodion is reportedly firmly on Barcelona's radar, with the Catalan giants keen to sign a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski during next summer's transfer window.

Lewandowski has been in outstanding form for Barcelona this season, scoring 19 goals and registering two assists in 17 appearances in all competitions, including five goals in four Champions League outings.

The 36-year-old has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2026, with the option of a further 12 months, and due to his form this season, it is highly likely that he will spend at least one more campaign with Hansi Flick's side.

However, according to El Nacional, the Poland international 'has not ruled anything out' at this stage and will consider a move away from Barcelona next summer if the right opportunity arrives.

There is believed to be serious interest from Saudi Arabia in the experienced striker, while MLS clubs are said to be keeping a close eye on his situation with a view to a potential move.

Barcelona 'identify' Omorodion as Lewandowski replacement

Lille's Jonathan David continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona, with the Canada international's contract due to expire at the end of the season, but a new name is now allegedly on the club's striker shortlist.

Omorodion is said to be wanted by Barcelona, with the forward making an impressive start to life at Porto, scoring 12 goals in 13 appearances in all competitions, including four goals in four Europa League outings.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Alaves from Atletico Madrid and had been tipped to be a part of the first-team squad at Wanda Metropolitan during the 2024-25 campaign.

However, Atletico instead decided to bring in Alexander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez to boost their forward options, with Omorodion being allowed to depart, and he was widely expected to move to Chelsea.

Omorodion 'is also wanted by Man United, Chelsea'

A proposed switch to Stamford Bridge ultimately fell through, with Porto stepping in to sign him, and the forward has been in excellent form in the early stages of the season.

Chelsea are still believed to have an interest in the youngster, while it is believed that Manchester United are keeping a close eye on his situation, with the Red Devils also keen to sign a striker next year.

Omorodion's form this season has seen him earn a spot in the Spain squad for the national team's November internationals against Denmark and Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League.

The forward could make his La Roja debut against Denmark on Friday night, and Barcelona allegedly believe that he could be the ideal replacement for Lewandowski when the striker does eventually move on.

Porto would reportedly be willing to let Omorodion leave for a fee in the region of €40m (£33m). body check tags ::
