Juventus are gearing up for a major transformation in its attacking lineup as the club prepares for a pivotal summer transfer window. While the Bianconeri often experience eventful off-seasons, this time the focus will be on quality over quantity, with a clear objective: securing a top-tier striker to lead the line and ensuring qualification for next season’s Champions League.
The Dream Target
Calciomercato report that at the top of Juventus’ wishlist is Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s prolific Nigerian forward. However, acquiring Osimhen will be an uphill battle. Napoli are expected to demand a hefty transfer fee, and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis reportedly favours selling him abroad. For Juventus, this dream hinges on offloading Dusan Vlahovic after the FIFA Club World Cup, which would free up resources to pursue a marquee signing like Osimhen starting in July.
Realistic Options
While Osimhen remains an ambitious target, Juventus is also exploring more pragmatic alternatives. Promising talents like Benjamin Sesko and Rasmus Hojlund are high on the list, offering both potential and longevity. Other names include Joshua Zirkzee, though his acquisition may prove challenging, and domestic options such as Lorenzo Lucca, Mateo Retegui, and Gianluca Scamacca, who have long been on Juventus’ radar.
Two-Striker Strategy
The club’s plans extend beyond just one signing. With both Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik likely to depart, Juventus aim to bring in two forwards to reshape their attack. This includes securing a versatile backup striker who can provide depth without overshadowing the main number nine. Tammy Abraham was previously considered last season and could re-emerge as a candidate, while Luka Jovic has also been linked. Regardless of the final choices, Juventus is prioritizing players who fit this dual-role strategy.
