Victor Osimhen has reportedly rejected a move to Juventus, despite their strong interest, as top clubs weigh his high wage demands and Napoli remain firm on their asking price.
  • Osimhen is said to have rejected a move to Juventus, per Turkish football sources
  • Juventus saw him as a replacement for outgoing striker Dušan Vlahović
  • Napoli is unwilling to sell to domestic rivals, complicating any deal
  • Premier League clubs backed off due to Osimhen’s salary expectations
  • Galatasaray may trigger his €75m release clause if they dare

Osimhen’s rejection of Juventus feels less about loyalty and more about leverage. At 25, he's still in demand but asking for top-tier wages that only a few clubs are willing (or able) to meet. His decision not to join Italy’s most decorated club hints at bigger ambitions or a holding pattern for the right offer. Fans wonder: is this a power move or a stall?
