Juventus is gearing up for a major move in the upcoming transfer window. Their top attacking target: Victor Osimhen.

Shining in the colors of Galatasaray SK, the 27-year-old striker boasts impressive stats with 53 goals in 65 appearances. That kind of firepower is once again attracting the attention of Europe’s top clubs. According to reports from Italy, initial talks have already taken place. Osimhen is reportedly open to a move to Turin, having become well-acquainted with Serie A during his time at Napoli.

🚨 Victor Osimhen is keen on a move to Juventus, but talks are proving complicated. Galatasaray would be required to pay Napoli a hefty penalty — up to €70M — if they sell the Nigerian striker to another Serie A side.

But the deal is far from straightforward. Galatasaray is demanding at least €70 million to let their star striker leave. A portion of that sum would go to Napoli due to a resale clause. Under contract until 2029, Osimhen won’t come cheap. The big question remains: will Juventus make a concrete move to secure this highly ambitious target?
