Juventus are preparing a fresh move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as they intensify efforts to sign a top-class forward ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sport’s Gianluca Di Marzio.
With the Bianconeri keen to strengthen their attack, Osimhen has emerged as a priority target, but negotiations are expected to be complex due to the financial demands involved.
Napoli have set a price of €80 million for the Nigerian international, with his €75 million release clause applicable only to foreign clubs.
This puts Juventus in a challenging position, requiring a strategic approach from sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and other senior figures within the club’s hierarchy.
The Serie A giants must navigate not only the high transfer fee but also Osimhen’s significant wage expectations.
The striker recently rejected a €40 million net salary offer from Saudi Arabia, underlining the scale of the financial commitment required.
Juventus, meanwhile, are not in a position to match such figures and will need to convince the player through a compelling sporting project rather than financial incentives.
Di Marzio also notes that Juventus face strong competition from abroad, with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain among the top European clubs closely monitoring the situation.
Both clubs would have little difficulty meeting Napoli’s valuation and Osimhen’s salary expectations, further complicating Juventus’ pursuit.
Despite these obstacles, Juventus remain determined to make an attempt, even if the chances of success appear slim without major compromises.
Osimhen has been one of the most prolific forwards in Europe in recent seasons, and his availability has sparked a transfer battle that could define the summer window.
