Multiple sources in Italy claim Napoli-owned striker Victor Osimhen has rejected the chance to join Juventus next summer.
Naples-based media Il Mattino and Radio Kiss Kiss report that Nigerian forward Osimhen won’t join Juventus in 2025-26.
The 26-year-old scorer of 36 goals across all competitions this season had emerged as the Old Lady’s primary target for the attack, but according to the latest reports, the striker has now closed the door for a move to the Allianz Stadium.
As per Radio Kiss Kiss, this means Arsenal and Manchester United have been handed a big boost in the race for the Nigeria international as both Premier League sides have been following him for months.
According to the report, PSG remain interested in Osimhen after signing his ex-Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the January transfer window.
Osimhen has a €75m clause in his Napoli contract, which is not valid for clubs in Serie A.
The Napoli-owned forward continues attracting interest from Saudi sides, and his current club, Galatasaray, are also considering an offer to sign him permanently, according to Il Mattino.
Osimhen is under contract with Napoli until 2026, but the Partenopei have an option to extend to 2027 if the striker doesn’t find a new club in the next summer transfer window.
