English Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal have all been credited with an interest in Osimhen but they will have to contend with a new rival from Italy.
Juventus enter the race for Osimhen
Meanwhile, Juventus have made contact with Napoli over the possibility of signing Osimhen when the summer transfer window opens as they begin their search for a new striker, Football Transfers reports.
The Italian giants hope to bring the 25-year-old superstar striker back to Serie A where he excelled with Napoli, winning the Scudetto and the top scorer award in the 2022/23 season.
Napoli inserted a break clause in Osimhen’s Galatasaray contract which will allow the Italians to sell the striker during the January transfer window although it seems Juventus will push for a deal next summer.
