Victor Osimhen has a New Suitor! Will He Leave Galatasaray?
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian forward loaned to Galatasaray, is at the center of major speculation in the transfer market. According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus has emerged as one of the top clubs interested in the star striker of Napoli, with the intention of bringing him to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Juventus plans to part ways with Dusan Vlahovic, who has not performed as expected, and the option to sign Osimhen has become one of the most attractive. Cristiano Giuntoli, the sporting director of the "bianconeri," is seen as a key figure in finalizing this deal, as he worked with Osimhen during his time at Napoli.
The Nigerian forward, who is having an excellent season in the Turkish Super League, intends to finish the season with Galatasaray, which has delayed negotiations with Juventus. However, the Italian club remains firmly interested and hopes to finalize his signing during the summer transfer market.
Osimhen has had a standout performance in the 2024/25 season with Galatasaray, playing 21 matches across all competitions, scoring 17 goals, and providing 5 assists. His excellent form has not only caught the attention of Juventus but also other top European clubs.
The possibility of signing the Nigerian goal scorer would be a significant move for Juventus, as they look to strengthen their attack with a proven and talented player. However, Osimhen's future will depend on how negotiations with Napoli unfold and whether the Nigerian forward decides to return to Italy after his stint in Turkey.
