Juventus revive talks for striker target Victor Osimhen | OneFootball

Juventus have made new contact to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Despite having him as a priority target, Juve reportedly pulled the plug on the deal due to his price tag and competition from other clubs.

However, the Bianconeri have now revived their interest and are pushing to get the green light from the Nigerian centre-forward.

Osimhen is one of the sought-after strikers in this transfer window, attracting interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Al-Hilal.

Galatasaray are also looking to bring back Osimhen following a prolific loan spell last season.

The 26-year-old bagged 37 goals and eight assists in all competitions and was instrumental in Gala winning the Super Lig title.

Napoli are pushing to sell Osimhen as he is not in manager Antonio Conte’s plans. He has a release clause worth €75 million, which is only valid for clubs outside Italy.

The Partenopei are planning to reinvest in Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, who has been earmarked as their top target.

Juventus need to sell several players to meet Osimhen’s enormous valuation and wages.

Dusan Vlahovic looks most likely to leave after turning down an extension offer from the Bianconeri.

The Siberian’s deal expires next summer, and they want to recoup around €40m from his sale.

Vlahovic is the club’s top earner, and Juve are keen to get him off the books to make room for Osimhen.

The Turin giants are simultaneously working on a deal for Canadian striker Jonathan David, who is available as a free agent.
