Juventus eye January move for Victor Osimhen

Juventus are reportedly planning a January bid for Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen to strengthen their attack.

According to Rai Sports’ football chief, Paolo Paganini, the Serie A giants have grown dissatisfied with Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic’s performance since his 2022 arrival from Fiorentina.

Vlahovic has struggled to meet expectations, prompting Juventus to explore alternative options.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has emerged as a prime target for the Old Lady.

The 25-year-old Nigerian striker, who joined the Turkish club on a season-long loan, has a reported €75 million release clause in his contract.

Osimhen’s relationship with Juventus sporting director Cristiano Guintoli, who previously worked at Napoli, may play a key role in facilitating the potential move.
