Juventus eye Osimhen amid Vlahović uncertainty. The club’s search for a reliable striker has intensified following their diminishing confidence in current frontman Dušan Vlahović. According to Paolo Paganini, the Rai Sport football chief, the Turin giants are now exploring alternative options as they look to strengthen their attack.
“Juventus don’t have a top-level first striker,” Paganini stated in a recent interview, shedding light on the club’s concerns regarding Vlahović’s performance.
One of the prominent names emerging in the club’s discussions is Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Currently playing for Napoli, Osimhen has shown an interest in playing abroad, with Chelsea reportedly among the clubs interested. However, Juventus’ strong relationship with Osimhen’s agent and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli could potentially sway the striker towards Turin.
“Osimhen is one of the names on the club’s list, and the relationship between his agent and Juventus chief Giuntoli is very strong, so be careful because this summer there could be a sensational return,” Paganini hinted, alluding to a possible move during the upcoming transfer window.
For Juventus, signing Osimhen could serve as a massive boost to their hopes of claiming another Scudetto title. The comparison to Cristiano Ronaldo is inevitable, as fans wonder whether Osimhen could replicate the Portuguese star’s impact at the club.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Osimhen could serve as a warning to Juventus, especially given the recent form of their rising striker Nicolas Jackson. His impressive performances could force Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca to rethink their transfer priorities, further complicating Juventus’ chase for the Nigerian.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Juventus and whether they can secure Osimhen’s signature to reinforce their attack and reignite their Scudetto ambitions.
