Victor Osimhen is in high demand as Europe's top clubs jostle to sign one of the world's deadliest strikers.

Everyone wants Victor Osimhen, and it only makes sense when you consider his standing as one of the deadliest strikers on the planet.

Teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain have been credited with an interest, but latest reports suggest a new team is ready to splash the cash on the Nigerian goal machine.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who signed Osimhen for Napoli in 2020, has identified the Nigerian as his primary target to lead the Bianconeri's attack for next season.

Juventus are no strangers to top strikers, having signed the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Bianconeri are desperate to return to their place as the best club in Italy but it has become clear that they will not reach their goals with Dusan Vlahovic leading the line.

The Serbian striker’s contract expires in 2026, but he is expected to leave the Allianz Stadium in the next six months to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Osimhen has been in excellent form for Galatasaray, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists in 21 appearances for the Turkish giants.

The 36-year-old has a reported €75m release clause that is only available to teams outside Italy but as long as all parties are keen on an exit, Juventus are expected to negotiate directly with Napoli.
