Victor Osimhen Set for Surprise Switch to Juventus
In a move that’s sure to stir emotions across Italian football, Victor Osimhen is reportedly gearing up for a sensational switch from Napoli to Juventus this summer.
The Nigerian forward, 26, has been making waves while on loan at Galatasaray, netting an astonishing 33 goals in 38 matches. His electric form hasn’t gone unnoticed—especially not in Turin.
According to Italian journalist Raffaele Auriemma, Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has reached a personal agreement with Osimhen. With a €85 million offer already on the table, it seems Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is ready to let go.
Though De Laurentiis had previously stood firm on never strengthening a domestic rival, he’s reportedly changed his stance—perhaps to avoid losing Osimhen on a free when his contract runs out in 2026.
Osimhen’s journey with Napoli includes a Serie A title and a special place in the hearts of Neapolitans. Now, he’s set to join a club that has often been Napoli’s fiercest opponent.
While he’s expressed appreciation for Galatasaray and their passionate fans, the chance to return to Serie A—this time in black and white—seems to have sealed the deal.
Interestingly, Napoli had already brought in Romelu Lukaku last season, a move that now feels like preparation for Osimhen’s exit.
