Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has emerged as one of the alternatives Juventus can consider should their pursuit of Victor Osimhen fail to materialise.

Juventus are looking to revamp their attacking department in the summer transfer window, with Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani both in line to leave at the end of the 2024-25 season.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is the first-choice centre-forward for the Old Lady, but given his €75m price tag, and the fact that there are a number of clubs in Europe and Asia pushing for his signature, Juventus may need to look elsewhere.

Napoli, the parent club of Osimhen might also frustrate their Serie A rivals out of the deal.

As per Tuttosport, the Old Lady might as well turn to Boniface, who has also been under the radar of the Bianconeri sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

Bayer Leverkusen have been open to let Boniface go earlier this season and the striker’s inability to lock down a starting shirt in Xabi Alonso’s team still sends a strong signal that they might be willing to do business.

He almost joined Saudi Club Al Nassr in January by the Middle East giants schemed their way out of the deal after a successful medical.

This season, Boniface has been hampered by injury, scoring just eight goals and two assists in 19 Bundesliga appearances.

The 24-year-old scored 21 goals and provided nine assists in 34 games in his debut season, winning the German Bundesliga title and the DFB Pokal in a campaign that saw Die Werkself go unbeaten.

Another Bundesliga option for Juve is RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda, who scored 29 goals and registered seven assists last season. He is not expected to come cheaply either, though, given that Leipzig spent €40m to bring him over from Lens in the summer of 2023.

Georgia international Goerges Mikautadze could also be an alternative option up top for Juventus according to Friday’s reports. The 24-year-old has 16 goals and 11 assists this term, and could potentially be available for a significantly lower transfer fee in the region of €25m.

Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendo could also be an option for Juventus.
