Transfer: Juventus plan January move for Osimhen

Juventus intend to sign Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen when the transfer window reopens in January.

According to Rai Sports' football director, Paolo Paganini, the Old Lady has lost faith in Serbian sensation Dusan Vlahovic's ability to evolve into a frontline striker.

Vlahovic has struggled to impress since joining Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022.

Osimhen is one of the attackers on Juventus' list to help the team's offense.

The 25-year-old signed a season-long loan agreement with Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray from Napoli in January.

The forward's deal reportedly has a €75 million release clause.

His familiarity with Juventus' sporting director, Cristiano Guintoli, may assist facilitate the transfer.
