Juventus are planning a move for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window.
Osimhen left Napoli on a season-long loan deal for Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray early this September.
Juventus are however planning to bring him back to Italy when the transfer window reopens 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.
Vlahovic has struggled to impress since arriving Juventus from another Serie A club, Fiorentina in January 2022.
Osimhen is one of the strikers on the list of Juventus to bolster the team’s attack.
The 25-year-old joined Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli in January.
The forward reportedly has a €75m release clause on his contract.
His relationship with Juventus sporting director, Cristiano Guintoli could help facilitate the move.
