Karl Etta Eyong of Levante is one among the players being evaluated by Barcelona in their summer transfer window for a new striker. Even though the 22-year-old hasn’t scored since October, the Catalan powerhouses and several other elite European teams are still keeping an eye on him. He began the season in incredible form.
Levante is willing to sell Etta Eyong since they are aware of the desire expressed in him. It appears that they are ready for him to depart soon, as Russian team CSKA Moscow is attempting to clinch a €30 million deal for the Cameroonian international.
Fabrizio Romano, however, has revealed that Etta Eyong has declined a transfer. He has stated that he intends to leave Levante in the summer and that he wants to remain in Europe.
Romano claims that Etta Eyong’s unexpected benching during Levante’s home loss to Villarreal on Wednesday was due to the continuing dispute between him and the club’s management.

A number of other elite teams are also involved, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, and Barcelona. Therefore, it is unclear if Eyong will be persuaded to join CSKA Moscow, particularly since the Russian winter transfer market is still open.
But he seems to be leaning toward holding off until the summer, when he may receive more lucrative offers. Eyong had a fantastic start to the season, scoring six goals and dishing out an assist in his team’s first ten league games. However, he quickly lost his form and has since begun to struggle in front of the goal.
He has failed to score in his last ten club and national games, and he needs to improve significantly if he wants to win over Real Madrid, who will bring Endrick back from his loan stint at Lyon at the end of the current campaign.
