Barça planning major move for Etta Eyong

Etta Eyong could soon be signing for FC Barcelona. According to reports from the Spanish press, the Blaugrana are considering triggering the €10 million release clause for the Cameroonian striker, who is currently under contract with Villarreal. The plan would be to sign him this summer and immediately loan him out to another La Liga club.

At 21 years old, Etta Eyong has made a name for himself in recent months with Villarreal's reserve team, as well as through impressive performances with the senior squad. A quick, explosive forward capable of playing both centrally and on the wings, he perfectly fits the profile Barça are seeking to strengthen their pool of high-potential young talents. Although still relatively unknown to the wider public, Etta Eyong is already being monitored by several Spanish and foreign clubs.

A long-term project

Barça's plan is clear: pay the €10 million clause, secure the young Cameroonian international, then immediately loan him out to a La Liga side where he can rack up game time and continue developing in a league he already knows. The aim is to help Etta Eyong progress step by step without rushing his development, while also securing his future at the club. FC Barcelona appear ready to pull the trigger for the Cameroonian, in what could become one of the standout moves of the summer transfer window. To be continued…
