Italian giants Juventus FC are making strategic moves to rebuild their frontline, with Victor Osimhen at the top of their transfer wishlist. But the deal hinges on two critical factors: a clear “yes” from Osimhen, and the exit of Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic, according to top Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

🔄 Juventus Target Nigerian Star as Vlahovic Exit Looms

Juventus have reportedly contacted Osimhen’s camp to gauge his interest in a switch to Turin. While the Super Eagles striker is believed to prefer staying in Europe, he has not yet committed to the move.

Dusan Vlahovic, on the other hand, has refused to extend his current contract and is valued at €40 million — money Juventus need to unlock the Osimhen deal.

📉 Napoli’s Price Tag and Clause Twist

Napoli are open to selling Osimhen, especially after a breakdown in player-club relations. However, a €75 million release clause in his contract applies only to foreign clubs — a snag for Juventus, who would have to negotiate a separate deal likely above market value.

The Bianconeri are also considering Jonathan David from Lille as a possible backup option if the Osimhen deal collapses.

🔥 Osimhen’s Form Raises Hopes

The 25-year-old Nigerian forward recently revived his form at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals and delivered 8 assists, helping the Turkish side clinch the Super Lig title. His performances have reaffirmed his reputation as one of Europe’s deadliest strikers.

📝 What’s Next?

If Osimhen gives the green light, Juventus will accelerate talks with Napoli and push Vlahovic’s sale to fund the operation. The club views Osimhen as the perfect spearhead for a revamped attack under their evolving tactical direction.
