Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has dismissed rumors linking Nigerian international Victor Osimhen with a move to the club.

Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been linked with a move to Turin this summer.

Despite surpassing his personal best goal-scoring record of 31 goals in the 2022/23 season at Napoli, a return to the Naples-based club seems unlikely.

The Super Eagles striker has a release clause of €75 million.

Giuntoli, who facilitated Osimhen's transfer from Lille to Napoli has disclosed that he is not interested in signing the Nigerian striker for the Old Lady of Serie A.

“I’m not interested in Osimhen. The rumours that you read in the Italian media are only to put pressure on us,” he told Derin Football.

“Juventus does not want the player.”
