Juventus are preparing a bold double swoop for Nigerian stars Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman as part of a €200 million investment aimed at transforming their attack in the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to reports from Tuttosport, both players have been identified as top targets by the Turin club, alongside Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali.

The Bianconeri are looking to reassert their dominance in Serie A and in Europe, and see the addition of two of Africa’s most prolific forwards as a major step forward in that direction.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been in blistering form throughout the season.

The 25-year-old striker has amassed an impressive 29 goals and five assists across all competitions, including standout performances in both the Turkish Super Lig and the UEFA Europa League.

Valued at €75 million, Osimhen remains under contract with Napoli, and negotiations could prove difficult with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis already expressing reluctance to sell to a direct Serie A rival.

Nonetheless, Juventus are said to be optimistic that a substantial offer could sway Napoli’s stance.

The club’s leadership is aware that securing Osimhen will require a high-level financial commitment, but believes the Nigerian international could be a transformative signing capable of leading the line for years to come.

Ademola Lookman, currently shining for Atalanta, is the other key Nigerian figure on Juventus’ radar.

The versatile winger has delivered another strong season in Serie A and the Champions League, contributing 18 goals and six assists.

His value has risen significantly over the past year, and Atalanta are expected to demand at least €60 million for the 26-year-old forward.

Lookman, for his part, is reportedly open to a potential move to Turin. Unlike the Osimhen situation, Juventus are not expected to face major resistance from Atalanta, provided their financial offer meets expectations.

The Nigerian winger has proven himself to be a consistent threat in the final third, with his dribbling, pace, and clinical finishing making him one of the league’s standout performers.

While the potential acquisition of both players would represent a substantial financial outlay, Juventus believe the combined firepower of Osimhen and Lookman could significantly boost their attacking options.

With the club aiming to compete more aggressively at both domestic and European levels, the recruitment of proven talents has become a priority for the summer.

Alongside their pursuit of the Nigerian duo, Juventus are also tracking developments around Sandro Tonali.

The Italian midfielder, currently serving a suspension, remains on their long-term radar as they look to rebuild a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.

Should Juventus succeed in landing both Osimhen and Lookman, it would mark one of the most ambitious transfer windows in their recent history — and send a strong message to rivals about their renewed intent to return to the summit of Italian and European football.
