Juventus have renewed their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, according to Gianluca Di Marzio (Sky Sport Italia). Earlier summer talks with his camp stalled, but the Serie A giants are prepared to push again. Osimhen has a €75 million release clause for non-Italian clubs. He scored 37 goals during his Galatasaray loan.
• Juventus made renewed contact with Osimhen’s camp after a failed earlier approach (Sky Sport Italia, June 2025)
• Osimhen has a €75m release clause valid only outside Italy; Juve must negotiate directly with Napoli
• Striker rejected a big-money Saudi move, signalling focus on competitive European football
• During the Galatasaray loan, Osimhen bagged 37 goals and 8 assists, lifting league and cup titles
Osimhen isn’t just a striker, he’s a symbol of Nigerian resilience abroad. His Galatasaray success reset expectations for African players in Europe’s elite circles. Juventus’ pursuit reflects more than football ambition; it’s a strategic bet on a proven talent who rejected easier, richer routes for relevance. But can a historic Italian club break domestic constraints to secure him from a rival? With Napoli’s demands and Juventus’ limited leverage, this move could either rewrite Serie A dynamics or reassert Italy’s transfer rigidity. For Osimhen, it’s a test of purpose over price.
