Juve joins Osimhen hunt

Juventus want Osimhen Juventus want Osimhen

The Old Ladies of Serie A are the latest club to express interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Turin-based team are considering a move for Serbian striker, Vlahovic who was a transfer target for clubs in the Premier League last summer in order to afford Osimhen's €100m asking price, as per a report by CalciomercatoWeb

“Vlahovic is still keen for a move to England, where the Premier League clubs had already attempted to snatch him from Serie A at the time he was in Fiorentina, the report stated.

“Now, for around €80m, the Serbian striker could exit Juventus after only eighteen months since he sign the ‘Old Lady’. A change in attack is expected in the next summer window, with Osimhen as a dream of the Turin team and Vlahovic ready to pack his bags.”

Osimhen, 23, has been in blistering form for the Naples-based team this season.

The Nigerian international has so far managed 9 goals and 2 assists for Luciano Spalletti's side despite being side-lined for 5 weeks due to injury.

Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille for a club-record fee of €70m in the summer of 2020.
