Latest reports state Juventus are preparing a major transfer bid for Victor Osimhen ahead of the upcoming window, with figures quoted around €120 million and rising toward €150 million in some Italian media outlets.
The asserted intent is to secure one of Europe’s most prolific strikers to revamp Juventus’s attacking line, a club need heightened by inconsistent goal outputs in recent seasons.
Daily Post The reported investment level reflects Juventus’s ambition to compete at higher levels domestically and in European competitions by signing an established elite centre-forward.
Galatasaray acquired Osimhen last year via a €75 million deal from Napoli, and his performances have markedly increased his stock, with the Turkish club’s vice president publicly valuing him at around €150 million effectively double his initial purchase price. This valuation underpins the elevated expectations for any prospective deal.
Osimhen, 26, has openly acknowledged Juventus as a club he might consider in the future, noting their historical stature and previous dialogue about a potential move prior to his Galatasaray switch.
He highlighted that Juventus had previously expressed concrete interest, with sporting director discussions occurring before his 2025 transfer. While he affirms commitment to Galatasaray, he has admitted that a move to a club of Juventus’s profile would be a “privilege” if circumstances aligned.
Galatasaray’s stance remains firm on retaining the striker, and any transfer would require aligning multiple complex factors including Osimhen’s contract terms, the club’s valuation, and Juventus’s negotiation strategy.
Juventus’s motivation to pursue him is reinforced by their need to upgrade the striking department and by Osimhen’s proven goalscoring effectiveness at top levels of competition.
Also notable: Juventus were recently involved in a Champions League tie against Galatasaray, where the Nigerian forward played a decisive role in eliminating Juventus — underscoring both his quality and Juventus’s incentive to recruit such a player.
