Juventus Scouting Director Giorgio Chiellini has dismissed reports linking Victor Osimhen with a move to the Serie A giants.

Osimhen has been linked with a move to Juventus this summer following the conclusion of his loan spell with Galatasaray last season.

The 26-year-old is expected to leave Napoli on a permanent deal after falling out with the club last summer.

The former African Footballer of the Year has courted interest from several top clubs in Europe and is expected to decide his future in the coming days.

Speaking on Osimhen's future, Chiellini debunked rumours linking the Super Eagles striker with a move to Turin.

Victor Osimhen transfer? We’ve nothing to do with Osimhen,” the former Italian defender said via Habersarikirmizi.

“You’ve to fill the pages and report the news. We read a lot of things that make us laugh. You keep talking, we keep working.”

Juventus have completed the signing of Lille striker Jonathan David, ending speculation surrounding the club's pursuit of Victor Osimhen.
