Former Juventus striker Alessandro Matri has expressed his desire to see the Turin club pursue Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, suggesting a potential swap involving Dusan Vlahovic.
Osimhen, set to depart Napoli in the upcoming summer transfer window, has been linked with a transfer valued at €110 million.
Matri, speaking to DAZN, emphasized the feasibility of such a move, especially if Juventus decides to part ways with Vlahovic.
Matri stated, “I would not rule out Osimhen going to Juventus. If Vlahovic ends this season well, he could be sold for €70 million, while Matias Soulé can also bring in a very healthy profit.”
The former Juventus forward highlighted the strategic and financial aspects of such a potential deal, drawing parallels to the club’s past transfer dealings. Matri pointed out that if Juventus qualifies for the Champions League, they would have additional resources to facilitate the acquisition.
Matri further referenced Juventus’ historical approach to transfers, notably mentioning the acquisition of Gonzalo Higuain in a similar manner.
The suggestion implies that Juventus, having prudently managed finances in the current season, could leverage potential player sales to secure Osimhen’s services.
The football world will be keenly watching the dynamics of the transfer market as clubs strategize and make decisive moves in the upcoming window.
The prospect of a striker swap involving Vlahovic and Osimhen adds an intriguing layer to Juventus’ potential summer dealings, creating anticipation among fans and analysts alike.
As the Serie A season progresses, the performances of key players like Vlahovic may influence the decision-making process for Juventus, impacting the dynamics of the speculated striker swap.
