Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly looking at Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as the perfect man to replace Vlahovic in Turin.

Nigerian and Super Eagles sensation Victor Osimhen, currently dazzling at Galatasaray, has caught the attention of Serie A’s Juventus.

The Italian giants are reportedly preparing to launch a staggering €75 million bid for the forward, as speculation swirls around Dusan Vlahovic’s future in Turin.

The Super Eagles-eligible striker switched his allegiance from England to Nigeria at 23 but has been ignored ever since.

Vlahovic, who has had a rocky spell lately with frequent benchings, may soon be on his way out of the club, prompting Juventus to seek a replacement.

With three years having passed since the Serbian’s arrival, plans for his exit are already underway, likely to materialise between July and August.

Osimhen, with his impressive tally of 17 goals in just 21 matches this season, stands out as a top contender to step into Vlahovic’s shoes for the Old Lady.

Per Football Italia, Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ sporting director, who could reunite with Osimhen after their successful tenure at Napoli, sees the talented forward as more than just a wishful target.

The club is ready to activate Osimhen’s €75 million release clause, applicable only for teams outside of Italy, which adds a layer of complexity to the negotiations with Napoli.

The future of Osimhen at Napoli seems precarious, with both the player and the club seemingly poised for a change. For Juventus, signing Osimhen not only represents an opportunity to bring in a skilled striker but could also lead to reduced wage expenses and tax benefits under Italy’s Decreto Crescita.

However, it is said to depend on the the sale of Vlahovic and Juventus securing a spot in the next Champions League. These elements are vital for funding Osimhen’s transfer and ensuring the club can manage such a hefty investment.

Adding to the intrigue, Galatasaray is reportedly close to finalising the signing of former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata from AC Milan, potentially putting Osimhen’s playing time at risk as he faces increased competition.

Osimhen’s standout performances for Galatasaray have not only drawn the interest of elite clubs but have also endeared him to supporters who admire his commitment and talent on the field.

With Juventus keen on a move, the possibility of Osimhen making a return to Serie A injects an exhilarating twist into his already remarkable career path.
