Juventus has Osimhen on its radar

Galatasaray's Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is on Juventus's radar during the January transfer window. Italian sports adviser and lawyer Nicola Penta, who is said to have close ties with Juventus management, named Osimhen as the most suitable option for the centre-forward position in a statement to TMW Radio.

Penta said Osimhen had previously come very close to Juventus, but an unknown development blocked the transfer. He said the Torino club could prepare a structured offer to Galatasaray including a down payment of 30 to 40 million euros, with the remainder paid in instalments.

On the other hand, it was noted that Osimhen's surgery could affect the transfer talks. It was stated that the uncertainty over his recovery process could push Juventus to act cautiously. On Galatasaray's side, the player's contract runs until 2029, and the yellow-red club does not easily want to part with its key player in the middle of the season.
