Juventus is set to pursue Victor Osimhen this summer, with sports director Cristiano Guintoli pushing for his signature. The Napoli striker’s release clause of €75 million will be available to non-Italian clubs, and Juventus hopes to secure him after negotiating with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Juventus is poised to make a major move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Italian club, led by sports director Cristiano Guintoli, has been a long-time admirer of the Napoli star. Guintoli was responsible for bringing Osimhen to Napoli five years ago and attempted to acquire him during the January transfer window, though he was unsuccessful.
Osimhen’s current loan at Galatasaray will conclude at the end of the season, giving clubs outside of Italy an opportunity to activate his release clause, which stands at €75 million. This has set the stage for Juventus to challenge other potential suitors, especially local rivals, who would have to pay a higher fee due to the clause.
The Serie A giants are expected to offload striker Dusan Vlahovic to make room for Osimhen, but that move will likely occur in the summer, once Juventus has finalized its financial position. However, the transfer remains complicated, with reports indicating that negotiations with Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, will be challenging due to the complexities of the deal.
Despite these hurdles, Juventus remains determined to land Osimhen, whose goal-scoring prowess would significantly bolster their attack. The club will need to navigate the tough negotiations ahead to secure the Super Eagles striker for the 2025/2026 season.
