Despite Juventus’ efforts to persuade Osimhen, he appears determined to join a more competitive and globally recognized league. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are among his preferred destinations, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also being considered.

Juventus reportedly responded to Osimhen’s stance with professionalism, accepting his position without pushing further. The Nigerian striker has been in impressive form during his loan spell at Galatasaray, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 31 appearances across all competitions.

Osimhen’s parent club Napoli is expected to part ways with him this summer, with reports suggesting they will look to offload him for around €75m.
