Osimhen will join Juve, Roma legend claims Roma legend Roberto Pruzzo discloses reliable sources have informed him Victor Osimhen will join Juventus in the summer transfer window, Round Table Sports Extra reports.
Osimhen is under contract with Napoli but has been on loan at Galatasaray this season after failing to reach agreements for permanent moves to PSG, Chelsea and Al-Ahli previous summer.
The Nigerian striker had adhered to a €130m clause when he signed a contract extension with Napoli in 2023, but it will drop to €75m at the end of the season.
Several sources in Italy declare Osimhen is among the Juventus targets for the summer and according to Roma legend Pruzzo, the Nigerian will move to Turin during the next transfer window.
“I know that Juventus’ next striker will be Osimhen,” the former striker informed Radio Radio via Sport Mediaset.
“A reliable source close to the Nigerian’s entourage reported it to me in Florence. They are certain they will be going to Turin next year.”
Pruzzo, 69, spent most of his career at Roma, where he played for 10 years, conquering a Scudetto in 1982-83.
He had started his career at Genoa and retired in 1989, playing for Fiorentina in his most recent season.
Pruzzo who goalled 133 scores in 331 Serie A games has made the bold allege about Osimhen’s next move amid links to Manchester United and Arsenal.
Osimhen has been linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of the summer transfer window as he is expected to depart Napoli for good after the 2024/25 season.
The 26-year-old has been coy on his next destination, but he has strongly been linked with United just as Arsenal were disclosed to be ready to pay his €75m release clause.
This also trended:
As the rumours about his next move endure to gather momentum, Pruzzo’s purport about Juventus might not be unconnected to recent revelation that Manchester United might not be able to afford Osimhen’s wages.
Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has disclosed United are unlikely to agree a deal for the 26-year-old due to his “enormous” wages.
Osimhen has registered 22 scores and five assists in 28 appearances for Galatasaray this season.
