Juventus have identified Victor Osimhen as a key target for the upcoming summer transfer window, but their proposed attacking strategy may not appeal to the Nigerian forward.
The Turin giants are reportedly planning to reshape their frontline, with a vision of pairing Osimhen alongside Randal Kolo Muani next season.
This approach, however, appears to push Dušan Vlahović into the background, raising questions about how the team’s attacking hierarchy will be structured.
Tactical concerns for Osimhen
Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, and any move to Juventus would likely come with the expectation of a primary attacking role.
However, with Kolo Muani already a key figure in their plans, it remains uncertain whether Osimhen would be given the central responsibility he desires.
The Nigerian international thrives as a lone striker, leading the attack with his pace, strength, and finishing ability—qualities that have made him a star at Napoli.
While Juventus see him as a major reinforcement, Osimhen may not be inclined to join a system where he has to share attacking duties in a setup that does not fully align with his preferred style of play.
A striker in high demand
Osimhen’s performances continue to attract interest from Europe’s top clubs.
The 25-year-old, who has netted 12 goals and provided four assists in the Turkish Super Lig with Galatasaray, remains a highly coveted asset.
Juventus will face stiff competition for his signature, particularly from Premier League and other Serie A clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.
As the summer transfer window approaches, much will depend on Juventus’ ability to convince Osimhen of his role within their tactical setup.
Should he remain unconvinced, the Bianconeri may be forced to rethink their approach or risk losing out on one of their top transfer targets.
