Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal is one of the standout players for Spain in the 2026 World Cup.

Oyarzabal has scored 4 goals for Spain in the 2026 World Cup so far, adding to his 15 goals for Real Sociedad in last season's La Liga.

Sport newspaper reported that Oyarzabal will become an interesting player for a number of clubs, including Barcelona, thanks to his outstanding form.

Oyarzabal is 29 years old, still has several years at the highest level, and his contract with Real Sociedad runs until the summer of 2028.

The Catalan club needs to strengthen the striker position this summer after Robert Lewandowski's departure, and it's no secret that the management's top target is Argentine Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid.

Should Barcelona fail to sign Alvarez, they will look to sign another player, and among the alternatives for the Atletico Madrid striker, Oyarzabal's name stands out.

The Real Sociedad player commented in the last few hours on this potential interest from Barcelona and other major clubs.

From his statements, it seems signing him will not be easy, as he said in an interview with "El Partidazo" on Cadena COPE: "I've said it many times, I'm happy at Real Sociedad. For me, this club is my home and my place."

He added, "Sociedad also embraced me in the toughest moments, when I was going through my worst times. Thanks to Real Sociedad, I am here today. I don't have much more to add."
