Italian giants Juventus have signaled their strong intention to land Victor Osimhen this summer, preparing a massive €85 million bid for the Nigerian striker, according to reports from Il Corriere dello Sport.
The Super Eagles forward, currently with Napoli, has become one of the most sought-after names in the European transfer market, attracting attention not just from top clubs in Europe but also from Saudi Arabia.
Osimhen’s contract includes a €75 million release clause, but crucially, that clause does not apply to Italian rivals—meaning Juventus must negotiate directly with Napoli to secure his signature.
Juventus’ aggressive move highlights their determination to strengthen their attack and beat foreign competition to Osimhen. The club is reportedly ready to meet the 25-year-old striker’s salary demands, making him a centerpiece in their rebuilding project.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al-Hilal are also closely monitoring the situation. The Saudi Pro League club is reportedly prepared to trigger the €75 million clause and offer Osimhen an eye-watering €30-35 million per year to lure him to the Middle East.
Osimhen has been pivotal for Napoli, playing a major role in their Serie A success and impressing in the UEFA Champions League. His combination of pace, power, and clinical finishing has elevated his status as one of Europe’s elite strikers.
According to the 9am News report, the coming weeks will be crucial as Osimhen weighs a decision between staying in a top European league or making a big-money move to the booming Saudi Pro League.
With pre-season transfer activities heating up, all eyes are now on Osimhen’s next move—a decision that could reshape Juventus’ attack or further bolster the Saudi league’s rising global profile.
