Penta's Osimhen Call for Juventus

After the league's international break, Galatasaray beat Amedspor 4-3 and kept their lead at the top. Following this win, a claim about Victor Osimhen came to the fore.

The Nigerian striker, who is expected to be out of action for some time due to his injury, was known to be on the radar of Europe's biggest clubs. For the player, who had started the season well before his injury, the Juventus claim gained attention. Sports agent Nicola Penta, known for his closeness to Juventus, spoke on Tuttomercatoweb radio.

Penta argued that the Italian club should invest in Osimhen in January and spend all of its money on the transfer. He said the offer the agent envisions could consist of 30 to 40 million euros upfront plus installments. Penta also criticized Kolo Muani, saying he is not a player of the Osimhen type and that he seems confused.

Osimhen has played in 11 official matches for Galatasaray this season, producing 10 goals and 3 assists. The Nigerian striker began his career in Nigeria in the Ultimate Strikers academy. He joined Wolfsburg in 2017 for 3.5 million euros. He then played for Charleroi, Lille and Napoli. He was loaned to Galatasaray in the summer of 2024 and, after his loan season, joined the yellow-reds for 75 million euros.
