Juventus’ Sporting Director, Cristiano Giuntoli, who orchestrated Victor Osimhen’s transfer to Napoli in 2020, has found the Nigerian striker to be the main target to spearhead the Bianconeri’s attack for the next season. In outstanding form, Osimhen—from Napoli now on loan at Galatasaray—is a sought-after player in European soccer.
Osimhen has shown excellent performance in 12 games for Galatasaray, netting 9 goals. Affirming his position as one of Europe’s elite forwards, his consistent goal-scoring ability has greatly helped Galatasaray win this season.
Renowned for getting Osimhen to Napoli during his tenure there, Cristiano Giuntoli now aims to bring the forward back to Juventus. Seeing Juventus’ requirement for more attacking choices, Giuntoli regards Osimhen as the perfect answer to front the team forward in the next season.
Mostly given his elevated market worth and much pay requirements, obtaining Osimhen raises monetary difficulties. Napoli, according to reports, could sell the forward for around €100 million. Particularly given uncertainties over the future of their present forward, Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus could evaluate this investment. Should Vlahovic be sold, this could free up the needed money for Osimhen’s purchase.
Osimhen’s outstanding shows have piqued interest from many top European teams including Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Al-Ahli. The next transfer window could see fresh activity although past talks with these clubs did not come off. Juventus needs astute bargaining and financial planning since they have much competition to get Osimhen’s signature.
Osimhen’s present deal with Napoli runs through 2026; there is supposedly a €75 million release clause valid only for Serie A sides. A €90 million release clause becomes effective in January for foreign teams. The transfer dynamics depend much on these contractual terms, shaping Juventus’ strategy in discussions.
In essence, the possible signing of Victor Osimhen is a major step to improve Juventus’ attacking firepower as the team plans for next season. Under the direction of Cristiano Giuntoli, the club’s management will negotiate the intricacies of this high-profile transfer in search of a player whose abilities might revolutionize Juventus’ offensive firepower.
