Juventus Target Ademola Lookman After Osimhen Snub

Juventus are now seriously considering move for Ademola Lookman as top attacking reinforcement for the summer transfer window following complications in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen according to reports from Italy.

The Atalanta & Super Eagles winger has enjoyed an outstanding season in Serie A, scoring 13 goal in 25 appearances and has become one of the most sought after players in europe.

Osimhen Out, Lookman In?

With Osimhen’s 70 million euro release clause only applicable to clubs outside Italy and his 10 million euro annual salary proving too steep for Juve, the Turin giants have cooled their interest.

The Napoli striker's also reportedly in contact with Man United, with possible swap deal involving Rasmus Højlund being discussed.

As result, Juventus are now turning to Lookman whose market value stands at around 60 million euro. Tuttosport reports that Juve're exploring a player plus-cash deal to convince Atalanta to sell.

Lookman’s Rise Continues

The 27 year old Nigerian's been standout figure since joining Atalanta from RB Leipzig in 2022. His impressive performances last season helped the club clinch the UEFA Europa League and he recently shined in 4 - 0 demolition of Juventus, further raising his profile.

With interest from both Serie A rivals & Premier League clubs, Atalanta are bracing for bidding war this summer. Meanwhile Napoli are also reportedly tracking Lookman, adding more fuel to the transfer buzz.
