Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it clear that Victor Osimhen will not join Juventus in the summer transfer window.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen will leave Napoli this summer after a fallout with the club’s management. The 26-year-old has been in top form, scoring 29 goals and providing six assists for Galatasaray this season, sparking interest from top clubs across Europe.
Growing Interest in Osimhen
Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are reportedly chasing Osimhen, alongside Juventus, who are keen to bring him to Turin. However, De Laurentiis has blocked the move. “No! Never at Juventus,” he said on Radio Kiss Kiss.
Napoli Open to Offers, Excluding Juventus
Reports claim Napoli is ready to lower Osimhen’s €75 million price tag to facilitate a move, with Manchester United a potential destination. The club aims to prevent Juventus from securing the striker.
Osimhen’s move has been in the works for over a year. Last summer, a move to Saudi Arabia fell through, and he rejected a transfer to Chelsea over personal terms.
Galatasaray’s Push to Keep Osimhen
Galatasaray hopes to keep Osimhen, but convincing him could prove difficult. Osimhen has been quiet about his future, thanking Galatasaray’s fans for their incredible support.
“There are always rumours about me, but I live in the moment. I’m enjoying all this now. The fans supported me in an incredible way. Galatasaray will forever remain in my heart,” Osimhen said about his future.
As the summer window nears, the race for Osimhen’s signature heats up.
