Juventus Eyes Osimhen, Lookman for Summer Signing

Juventus is reportedly preparing a summer move for Nigerian duo Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, aiming to bolster their attacking lineup ahead of the 2025/26 season.

According to Tuttosport, the Turin club has placed the two Super Eagles forwards high on their priority list as they consider reshaping their front line.

With Dusan Vlahovic likely to exit and uncertainty surrounding Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus is targeting proven scorers to elevate their goal output.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at the end of the season. His €75m release clause for clubs outside Italy has caught Juventus’ attention, but triggering it would require significant financial maneuvering.

Lookman, who has been a standout performer for Atalanta since joining from RB Leipzig, has attracted Juventus’ attention with his pace, directness, and tactical discipline. However, Atalanta is expected to demand around €60m to part ways with the London-born winger.

Both players have enjoyed strong campaigns in Serie A and have won the last two African Footballer of the Year awards, making them marquee-level additions.

While Juventus is also linked to former Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, reports indicate that only two attacking signings will be made, with Osimhen and Lookman currently leading the shortlist.

No formal offers have been submitted, but internal discussions within Juventus continue as they weigh up how best to approach negotiations for the Nigerian pair.
