Juventus remains determined to pursue Victor Osimhen despite knowing the challenges involved in negotiating with Napoli, a club notorious for avoiding deals with their Serie A rivals. The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has reignited his career after a summer of uncertainty. His decision to leave Napoli came as no surprise, given his desire for a fresh challenge and the lack of attractive offers from top European clubs at the time.

Osimhen’s exceptional performances in Turkey have caught the attention of Europe’s elite once more. With his loan spell at Galatasaray set to end this summer, the 25-year-old striker is expected to secure a move to a more competitive league. Galatasaray is eager to retain him on a permanent basis, but Osimhen reportedly prefers a return to a higher-profile league, setting up an intriguing race for his signature.

Paris Saint-Germain has emerged as a serious contender. The French giants, armed with substantial financial resources, are prepared to make an aggressive push for the striker. However, Juventus might hold a crucial edge in the race, thanks to the presence of Cristiano Giuntoli. The Bianconeri’s sporting director was instrumental in bringing Osimhen to Napoli during his time with the Partenopei. His established rapport with the player’s camp could prove decisive in swaying Osimhen toward Turin.

According to Tuttojuve, Osimhen is open to reuniting with Giuntoli, a factor that places Juventus in a favourable position. Despite this advantage, the Bianconeri will need to make a significant financial commitment to secure the deal. Osimhen remains one of the world’s most prolific strikers, and his current contract situation—with just one year remaining—means Napoli could demand a sizable fee despite limited leverage.

Adding Osimhen to Juventus’ squad would undoubtedly elevate their attacking options, but the club must be prepared to invest heavily to make the move a reality. With competition heating up, this transfer saga is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing of the upcoming summer window.
