Juventus was interested in signing Emanuel Emegha as a plan B for the number 9 position. However, the transfer will not happen as Emegha is set to join Chelsea in 2026. This decision was confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Juventus is considering Emanuel Emegha from Strasbourg as a more accessible alternative to Osimhen. However, his availability is uncertain due to Chelsea's interest in bringing Emegha to their club in 2026, as both clubs share the same owner (BlueCo). Transfermarkt currently values Emegha at 25.00 million euros.
