 Juve to offer player-plus-cash for Osimhen


Juventus are preparing to offer a player-plus-cash deal to sign Nigeria international Victor Osimhen from Napoli in the summer, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The Bianconeri have identified Osimhen as a key target for their offensive overhaul and are willing to include defender Federico Gatti in the package to entice their Serie A rivals into negotiations.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are aware of the complexity of the deal given Napoli’s reluctance to sell such a prominent player to a direct competitor.

Osimhen played a crucial role in Napoli’s Scudetto-winning campaign in 2023 scoring 26 goals to become the first African to win the topscorer award as they ended a 33-year jinx.

The Old Lady’s strategy involves leveraging Napoli coach Antonio Conte’s admiration for Federico Gatti, hoping the centre-back could address the Partenopei’s defensive needs while facilitating their pursuit of the Nigerian striker.

This move comes as Juventus prepare to offload Dusan Vlahovic and renegotiate Randal Kolo Muani’s loan with Paris Saint-Germain to extend his stay at the Allianz Stadium beyond the summer.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in blistering form this season, scoring 20 goals in 22 league appearances for the Turkish giants.

The 26-year-old striker recently made headlines on international duty after surpassing Segun Odegbami’s 44-year-old goalscoring record for Nigeria. Osimhen netted his 24th and 25th goals for the Super Eagles during Friday’s 2-0 victory over Rwanda in a 2026 World Cup qualifier in Kigali.

Former Nigeria international Odegbami, who held the position of Nigeria’s second-highest goal scorer since 1981, expressed delight at seeing his record broken.

“Osimhen has finally overtaken me and I think that is good because the record has been hanging on for a very long time. I am very happy for him and I want to say good luck to him,” Odegbami told PUNCH Sports Extra.

“He is still young and he has a long way to go.”

The striker now sits behind only the late Rashidi Yekini, who holds Nigeria’s all-time scoring record with 37 goals.

Since making his Super Eagles debut in June 2017, Osimhen has established himself as the team’s talisman, including notable performances in AFCON qualifiers where he scored two hat-tricks in 2023.
