Juventus have set their sights on securing Victor Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window, as they aim to strengthen their attacking options for next season.
The Nigerian forward, currently at Napoli, has attracted widespread interest from top European clubs, but the Turin-based side is determined to bring him in.
A potential partnership with Kolo Muani
One of the primary reasons for Juventus’ interest in Osimhen is their ambition to create a formidable attacking duo alongside Randal Kolo Muani.
The French striker joined Juventus on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in January and has impressed with five goals and an assist in his first six Serie A appearances.
Juventus head coach Thiago Motta is reportedly keen on pairing Kolo Muani with Osimhen to add more firepower to the squad.
According to Tuttosport, the club’s management is working to make this vision a reality as early as the summer transfer window.
Serie A experience a key advantage
Osimhen’s extensive experience in Italian football is another major factor driving Juventus’ interest.
Since joining Napoli in 2020, the Nigerian forward has been one of the league’s most prolific strikers, scoring 65 goals and providing 11 assists in 108 appearances across all competitions.
His performances were instrumental in Napoli’s historic Serie A triumph last season, ending the club’s 33-year title drought.
He also played a crucial role in helping the team reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in its history and finished as the league’s top scorer.
Given his proven track record in Serie A, Juventus believe Osimhen would require little time to adapt and could make an immediate impact in their quest to reclaim the domestic title.
Juventus’ European ambitions
Juventus have struggled to replicate their past dominance in recent seasons.
Their last Serie A title came in 2020, and they have not won the Champions League since 1996.
The club is determined to return to the top in both domestic and European competitions, and signing Osimhen is seen as a step in the right direction.
The Nigerian striker remains one of the most sought-after forwards in world football, with interest from PSG, Chelsea, Manchester United, and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
However, Juventus are keen to outmaneuver their rivals and secure his signature.
Financial aspects and market value
Osimhen is currently valued at approximately €75 million, with a reported annual salary of €10 million at Napoli.
Juventus are prepared to make a significant investment to acquire the striker, viewing him as a key figure in their rebuilding process.
While the competition for Osimhen’s signature remains fierce, Juventus are hopeful that their Serie A familiarity, project under Thiago Motta, and potential attacking partnership with Kolo Muani could persuade him to make the move to Turin.
