Italian giants Juventus are still ramping up a summer move for Nigerian stars – Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.
This is as the Turin club look to sharpen their attacking edge ahead of the 2025/26 season.
As reported by Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have placed the two Super Eagles forwards high on their priority list as they consider reshaping their front line.
With Dušan Vlahović increasingly likely to exit and uncertainty surrounding Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus are targeting proven scorers capable of elevating their goal output in the final third.
Osimhen, currently at Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, is widely expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at the end of the season, having established himself as one of Europe’s most clinical finishers. He has a €75m release clause for clubs outside Italy, which the thirty-six-time Serie A winners are monitoring closely.
Triggering that clause, however, would require significant financial manoeuvring, per the report.
Lookman, on the other hand, has been one of Atalanta’s standout performers since joining from RB Leipzig. His blend of pace, directness, and tactical discipline has attracted the attention of Juventus, who view him as an ideal fit for Thiago Motta’s forward line. Atalanta, however, are expected to demand a fee in the region of €60m to part ways with the London-born winger.
Both players have enjoyed strong campaigns in Serie A and have won the last two African Footballer of the Year awards.
