Juventus are set to launch a player-plus-cash bid for Victor Osimhen, offering defender Federico Gatti to Napoli. With Napoli hesitant to sell their star striker, Juventus plan to reshape their squad by offloading Dusan Vlahovic. Osimhen’s record-breaking form for Nigeria further strengthens his appeal in the transfer market.
Juventus are reportedly preparing a bold move to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer, proposing a player-plus-cash offer to facilitate the transfer. The Serie A giants are eager to strengthen their attacking lineup and view Osimhen as a top priority. To sweeten the deal, Juventus are willing to include defender Federico Gatti, hoping to capitalize on Napoli manager Antonio Conte’s admiration for the center-back.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Napoli remain hesitant to part ways with Osimhen, given his crucial role in their 2023 title-winning campaign, where he netted 26 goals and became the first African to claim the Capocannoniere award. The Partenopei are aware of the growing interest in their star forward but are reluctant to sell to a direct league rival.
Juventus' transfer strategy also involves reshuffling their current squad. The club is exploring options to offload Serbian forward Dušan Vlahović while assessing the possibility of extending Randal Kolo Muani’s loan deal with Paris Saint-Germain. This restructuring aims to create space for Osimhen, who has been in prolific form on loan at Galatasaray, scoring 20 goals in 22 league appearances this season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes are on Juventus to see whether their ambitious bid will convince Napoli to part ways with their prized asset or if the Serie A champions will stand firm on their stance.
