Serie A giants Juventus are plotting a move for Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen in January.
According to Rai Sports’ football chief, Paolo Paganini, the Old Lady have lost confidence in Dusan Vlahovic to develop into a frontline striker.
He revealed, “Vlahovic compared to other strikers in the Italian championship, like Lautaro Martinez or like Napoli’s Osimhen, is not at that level, Juventus does not have a top-level first striker. There are two names for Juventus’ attack.
“One is (Jonathan) David , the Lille centre forward, Canadian, so there is also the slot for non-EU players, his contract expires in 2025.
“The other is Osimhen, because it is true that he has the clause, but the relationships between Osimhen, Osimhen’s agent and (Juve chief Cristiano) Giuntoli are very strong, so be careful because this summer there could be a sensational return.”
The 25-year-old joined Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli.

I am really happy the way Osihmen is applying himself in Galastaray. Chances you would expect a centre-forward to take on, he would selflessly lay it on a plate for her colleagues, hence why he is racking up assists stats.
In the last Afcon, that was also how he played for the team rather than go for glory. It is a part of his game that doesn’t attract the recognition it deserves.
As Osihmen is scratching the back of his team-mantes with assists, they will soon scratching back to get his own name on the socresheet.
It’s only a matter of time.
Should there by fire behind the smoke of this interest from Juventus, it will be great to see Osihmen back in a higher profile league, where he surely belongs.
No big club wants Osimhen…..LMAOoooooo.
Juventus, please dont waste your 75m and 300k per week on this osimhen that is “not that good” o…..he only contributes a paltry 1 goal every 1.5 games. LMAOoo
A loser will always be a loser…!!!
