Juventus have been urged to go all out for Victor Osimhen in the January transfer window as he solves their striking problems that even some elite strikers would not solve.

Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli but is already attracting transfer interest from top European clubs ahead of the January transfer window.

Even though the Turkish champions denied it, Football Italia reported that there is a break clause in the deal, which would allow him to leave in January if some selected clubs pay his £63 million release clause.

Former Serie A Golden Boot winner Francesco Graziani has told the Old Lady Osimhen is their ideal man under Thiago Motta, claiming he has what others don't.

“The team doesn’t help Vlahovic. If you put Lewandowski or Benzema there, they struggle anyway. Osimhen wouldn’t struggle because he’s someone who can do the department on his own, he’s one of the best strikers in the world,” he said, as quoted by Tuttojuve.

It is unlikely that Aurelio De Laurentiis will sanction the player’s sale to the Allianz Stadium, considering their rivalry, even if they are willing to pay the release clause.
