Italian Serie A Giants Could Rival Chelsea for Victor Osimhen in January

• Victor Osimhen could be on the move away from Galatasaray as early as the winter transfer window
• He joined the Turkish champions after seeing his proposed deadline-day move to Chelsea collapsed
• A Serie A giant has expressed interest ahead of a possible January transfer move away from Turkey

Victor Osimhen could be on his way out of Turkey as early as January, with top European clubs still showing interest despite leaving Napoli on a season-long loan.

Osimhen's proposed summer transfer deadline day move to Chelsea failed after both parties failed to strike a personal terms agreement, and he joined Galatasaray.

Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli were other options in the summer, but Napoli botched both moves due to excessive demands.

According to Team Talk, the striker could leave Galatasaray and join any of the 10 top European clubs listed in his break clause during the agreement for his loan move.

The clubs include teams in the Premier League, La Liga, as well as Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, who attempted to sign him in the summer.

Juventus interested in Osimhen

Even though no Italian club was listed in the break clause because Napoli would be unwilling to sell the Nigerian to a rival club, a club has shown interest ahead of the January window.

According to Ria via Fanatik, Juventus are plotting a move for the Super Eagles star in January, with Thiago Motta ready to bolster his attacks as Dusan Vlahovic continues to misfire.

The 36-time Italian champions would have to pay £63 million, which is the new release clause inserted into a contract extension the striker signed before heading out on loan.

Premier League side Chelsea are reportedly unrelenting in their efforts to sign the Nigerian and are already in contact over a possible pre-agreement before the winter window opens.
