Juventus have secured their first signing of the Comolli era, reaching an agreement with Jonathan David, who is expected in Turin soon to begin his new adventure. However, the club’s transfer activity is far from over, with efforts underway to further strengthen the squad—especially in attack.
Tuttosport report (as quoted by IlBianconero) how Victor Osimhen remains a top target for Juventus. The club has intensified contacts with the Nigerian striker’s entourage in recent days, aiming to secure his approval before negotiating directly with Napoli. Osimhen’s future is a priority for both clubs, and new developments are expected soon.
Napoli have set a clear deadline: Osimhen is expected to provide an answer about his future by July 14, when his €75 million release clause—valid only for foreign clubs—expires. Until then, Juventus remain firmly in the race for the striker, hoping to capitalize on the situation before the clause lapses.
Osimhen is reportedly unwilling to join Napoli’s pre-season training camp in Dimaro, which starts in mid-July. While Napoli will likely summon him as per regulations, both the club and player are anticipating further market developments, with Juventus poised to make their move.
Juventus’s pursuit of Osimhen is complicated by the need to sell Dusan Vlahovic first, both to free up funds and to make room in the squad. Vlahovic’s future remains uncertain, but his departure is seen as a key step in facilitating Osimhen’s arrival. Meanwhile, Napoli is expected to demand a higher fee—around €80 million—if they are to sell to a domestic rival like Juventus.
With Osimhen’s relationship with Napoli at a low point and his determination to continue his career in Europe, the coming days will be crucial. Juventus are determined to land the prolific forward, and the outcome of this high-stakes transfer saga could reshape both clubs’ ambitions for the upcoming season.
