The young Cameroonian striker Karl Etta Eyong, who plays in La Liga, is going through a difficult period. After a promising start to the season, the 22-year-old has failed to maintain the same level of performance.
At the beginning of the season, Karl Etta Eyong impressed by scoring six goals and delivering three assists in ten games, attracting the attention of several European clubs, including FC Barcelona. His performances made him one of the most promising young talents in Cameroonian football.
However, since his transfer to Levante UD, Karl Etta Eyong has faced a goal drought. He has not scored or assisted since October 26, a run of twelve games without a contribution. This situation worries fans and observers, especially as the club is also going through a difficult period.
The upcoming match against FC Barcelona represents an important opportunity for Karl Etta Eyong to prove his worth and revive his career. Despite his recent dip in form, he retains significant potential and could regain his confidence and effectiveness in front of goal. Several European clubs are still following his situation closely, including FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
Levante's more defensive style of play may be a contributing factor to his current difficulties. In addition, media pressure and high expectations can also weigh on the young player. Despite these challenges, Karl Etta Eyong has the opportunity to overcome this crisis and confirm his status as a promising talent in African football.
According to several reports, Levante has received an offer of more than 30 million euros from CSKA Moscow for the transfer of Karl Etta Eyong. However, the player has reportedly turned down this offer, preferring to wait until the summer to consider other options in Europe. On February 19, 2026, it was reported that Karl Etta Eyong was dropped from Levante's defeat to Villarreal due to disagreements with the club's management regarding his transfer.
Born on October 14, 2003, in Douala, Karl Etta Eyong began his professional career at Cadiz before joining Villarreal. He was then transferred to Levante UD, where he signed a four-year contract. A Cameroonian international, he made his debut with the national team in October 2025 in a match against Mauritius. His journey is still young, and this match against Barcelona could mark a turning point in his career.
