Lookman targeted by Juventus if Osimhen joins Manchester United | OneFootball

With reports increasing that Victor Osimhen agreed personal terms with Manchester United, now Juventus are turning towards Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman.

The Nigeria international is still owned by Napoli during his loan spell with Galatasaray, but is set for a sale this summer, perhaps for less than the €75m release clause in his contract.

Multiple reports in Turkey and Nigeria have suggested over the last few days that Osimhen agreed personal terms with Manchester United.

If confirmed, it would mean Juventus have to look elsewhere for a new striker and Calciomercato.com claim the most likely candidate is Lookman.

It would confirm a trend of poaching from Atalanta, where they paid €60m including bonuses to get Teun Koopmeiners last year.

A similar price-tag would be appended to Lookman, who is eager to move on following a row with coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

The 27-year-old Nigeria international can play in a variety of attacking roles and this season contributed 18 goals with seven assists in 36 competitive games.

Before taking any further steps, Juventus would need to confirm their Champions League qualification, as failure would drastically reduce the transfer and salary budget.
