Victor Osimhen, a 27-year-old, remains a primary target for Juventus for the future. The Nigerian striker currently plays for Galatasaray, who are set to be Juventus's opponents in the Champions League playoffs in February. A potential deal is dependent on two main conditions. The first is that Osimhen would need to agree to a reduction of the approximate €16 million net salary he earns per season in Istanbul. The second is the confirmation of Luciano Spalletti remaining as the club's coach.
The personal relationship between Osimhen and Spalletti, who previously won the scudetto together at Napoli, could be helpful to Juventus in what is anticipated to be a very difficult negotiation. Osimhen's contract in Turkey is valid until June 2029, and he has scored 8 goals in 14 league appearances this season. The forward, who has 52 caps and 35 goals for Nigeria, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €75.00m and has also attracted interest from clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea.
