Juventus line up Ligue 1 prodigy Emegha as Osimhen alternative | OneFootball

Juventus are considering a move for Strasbourg’s talented forward Emanuel Emegha as an alternative for Victor Osimhen (h/t journalist Gianluca Di Marzio).

The Bianconeri are looking for a high-profile striker due to Dusan Vlahovic’s uncertain future.

The Serbian is entering the final year of his contract in Turin and has turned down Juve’s renewal offer.

Juve are looking to cash in on Vlahovic this summer to avoid the danger of losing him for free in a year.

The Bianconeri are also looking to recoup at least half of the €80 million they paid for Vlahovic from Fiorentina.

However, a lack of concrete offers is delaying his departure.

Vlahovic has already turned down Fenerbahce’s offer, while AC Milan are struggling to match his enormous wages.

Juventus have earmarked Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as their primary target to spearhead their attack next season.

However, tough competition from other clubs and a hefty transfer fee are forcing Juventus to look elsewhere.

Emegha has emerged as a cheaper alternative option following his excellent breakout season in Ligue 1.

The 22-year-old bagged 14 goals and three assists to inspire Strasbourg to an impressive seventh place in Ligue 1. They secured a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers.

The Strasbourg striker’s form has also caught the attention of sister club Chelsea, who could have an edge in the transfer race.

The Bianconeri are also yet to decide Randal Kolo Muani’s future, having recently extended his loan from Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the Club World Cup.
