Juventus could face competition from at least four teams to sign Victor Osimhen next summer as Galatasaray vice president Abdullah Kavukçu said the club expects the striker to communicate a decision on his future by April.

The Bianconeri have emerged as potential suitors for the Napoli striker after Roma legend Roberto Pruzzo stated that, according to a reliable source, the Nigeria international is set to become Juventus’ ‘next striker’.

Subsequent reports indicate that Juventus is considering offloading Dusan Vlahovic at the end of the season to finance a move for Osimhen while retaining Randal Kolo Muani.

The club is also reportedly relying on sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli’s longstanding relationship with Osimhen’s representatives to facilitate negotiations for a transfer to the Allianz Stadium.

The 26-year-old is set to return to Napoli when his season-long loan at Galatasaray ends in June, but he is unlikely to remain at the Stadio Diego Maradona beyond the summer. However, the Turkish giants’ vice president hinted that clearer updates on Osimhen’s future are expected next month.

“Osimhen will announce his decision in April,” Abdullah Kavukçu said, as reported by Sport Mediaset.

“At the moment, five of the world’s top clubs are interested in him. His arrival here was a dream—he came, and for now, he is playing with us.

“In January, there was talk of a transfer, but he stayed. He loves Galatasaray very much. Right now, he is the dream of all our rivals.

“Although we are focused on winning the title, we have not had direct discussions with Victor yet. There is no point in talking about it now.

“Galatasaray are a top-level club—if it weren’t, Victor wouldn’t have come. His stay at Galatasaray is not as impossible as it may seem.”

Osimhen is currently the Super Lig’s leading scorer with 20 goals in 22 games.
