<p>Over the last few years, Osimhen has established himself as one of the world’s elite marksmen. </p>
<p>Despite swapping Serie A football at Napoli for Galatasaray in the Turkish Süper Lig, the Nigerian striker has continued to deliver goals with remarkable consistency.</p>

<p>The 27-year-old’s brilliance has kept him on the radar of Europe’s heavyweights. <a href=”https://www.afrik-foot.com/en-ng/victor-osimhen-alex-iwobi-barcelona-atleti” data-type=”post” data-id=”912331″>Teams such as Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea continue to be linked with the forward. </a></p>
<p>Juventus, however, have also entered the conversation. The former Italian champions, who have been on the receiving end of his ire a few times, believe the Nigerian would transition seamlessly back into Serie A. </p>
<p>Also, he has a prolific history with Napoli, where he won the Capocannoniere and led the club to a historic Scudetto in 2023.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading”>Why Juventus Need Victor Osimhen</h2>

<p>Juventus has regressed in recent years, looking like a shadow of the team that dominated Italian football with nine consecutive titles between 2012 and 2020.</p>
<p>By their lofty standards, this season has been a disappointment. Sitting fourth in the league standings with 64 points from 34 games, they remain in a precarious position. </p>
<p>Should they falter in the final four games of the campaign, they risk losing their Champions League spot to surging rivals like Como or AS Roma.</p>
<p>Ravanelli believes the root of the problem lies in the frontline. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport<a href=”https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20260428/1004176248/ilustre-juve-no-ve-lewandowski-bianconero.html”> via Mundo Deportivo, </a>he stated bluntly: “Juventus must go after Victor Osimhen at all costs.”</p>

<p>Securing Osimhen will be a difficult task for the Bianconeri. Beyond the expected transfer fee—likely in the region of €100 million—there are complex hurdles in his contract. </p>
<p>There is a clause in Osimhen’s agreement requires a penalty payment to Napoli should he join another Italian club before 2027, making a return to Serie A via Turin a costly endeavor.</p>
