Juventus is speeding up to recruit Victor Osimhen, but this deal can only become a reality if two key conditions are met: the nod from the Nigerian striker and the departure of Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus is determined to recruit Victor Osimhen
According to the transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus resumed the contact with Victor Osimhen over the weekend to explore his aspirations. “Old Lady” will not enter the negotiating table with Napoli without the consensus from the 25 -year -old striker.
The Juventus public reform plan depends entirely on two chess pieces: Osimhen and Vlahovic. The Serbian striker refused to extend the contract, forcing Juventus to consider selling him at the expected price of about 40 million euros. If this deal is successful, the salary fund and position will be prepared for Osimhen and the free player Jonathan David.

Meanwhile, Napoli is also ready to part with Osimhen after the relationship between the two sides cracked last year. They targeted Darwin Nunez as a replacement plan to close this chapter definitely.
Notably, Osimhen once rejected the great offer from Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), showing that he was still determined to stay in Europe to develop his career. Last season, he exploded with 37 goals and 8 assists in the Galatasaray shirt, contributing greatly to help the team win the Turkish championship.
Currently, Juventus will focus all his efforts to receive a nod from Osimhen before entering the negotiation with Napoli about the transfer fee and personal terms. However, the big obstacle is that the provision of 75 million euros is only applicable to foreign clubs, making the deal between the two Serie A teams much more complicated.
Along with that, Juventus will try to accelerate the sale of Vlahovic to mobilize the budget, and close Jonathan David to complete the revolution in the attack. With great ambition and assertive countries, “old lady” is cherishing a completely new look for the 2025/26 season.
