Juventus Not Abandoning Their Long-Shot Osimhen Pursuit | OneFootball

Juventus have been eyeing Victor Osimhen ever since he joined Galatasaray last summer. He continues to be at the top of their wish list at the position despite the obvious difficulties in signing him from Napoli, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

The Bianconeri don’t anticipate keeping their two current strikers. They’ll settle for a low fee for Dusan Vlahovic. A €20M income would be enough to avoid a loss. His acquisition has been almost entirely amortized. They’ll attempt to keep Randal Kolo Muani on loan with an option or obligation to buy. However, they wouldn’t insist too much if they didn’t like PSG’s terms.

Juventus are ready to rival Manchester United, which can sign Osimhen by activating a €75M release clause. It isn’t valid for Serie A teams. Still, the Bianconeri believe that the Nigerian striker would like very much like to join them.

They’d have to negotiate with Aurelio De Laurentiis to make it happen. Even though the prospective newcomer would have rich wages, comparable to Dusan Vlahovic’s net ones, they’d save on the gross sum a lot thanks to old fiscal advantages.

Our Take on Juventus and Osimhen

Sometimes the Bianconeri get sucked into these unlikely and expensive deals that they almost try to manifest through a trail of breadcrumbs. They’d have a shot at being picked over to the Red Devils if they qualified for the Champions League and the English teams, which can only do so by winning the Europa League, didn’t. Still, that wouldn’t solve the obstacle of dealing with Aurelio De Laurentiis. The center-forward would have to twist the owner’s arm, saying he’d accept only one destination.
