Juventus appear set to break the bank for Victor Osimhen in the summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus sports director Cristiano Guintoli, who signed Osimhen for Napoli five years ago, will push for the striker’s signature in the summer after he also tried to get him in the January transfer window.
Osimhen’s loan deal at Galatasaray will end in the summer.
Clubs outside Italy will then have a chance to buy him on the release clause of 75 Million Euros.
Local rivals will therefore have to pay a lot more to get the player.
Juventus have been banking on a big transfer of striker Dusan Vlahovic and this may now happen in the summer to give room for Osimhen’s arrival.
Guintoli will then have to sit down with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to negotiate just how much Juventus will have to pay outside the release clause of 75 Million Euros reserved for clubs outside Italy.
This has been described as “a difficult operation for many reasons” for Juventus.
