Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli intends to use his strong relationship with Victor Osimhen’s representatives to facilitate a transfer to Juventus next summer. The club aims to add Osimhen to their attacking options while keeping Kolo Muani.
Roma legend Roberto Pruzzo recently mentioned that a trusted source informed him that the Napoli striker, currently playing for Galatasaray on loan, is expected to join Juventus next summer.
It is anticipated that Juventus will undergo a significant attacking reshuffle in the upcoming season. They are considering selling Dušan Vlahović to prevent losing him as a free agent when his contract expires in June 2026.
Giuntoli’s Strategy to Sign Osimhen and Retain Kolo Muani at Juventus
According to Tuttosport, Juventus have prioritized Victor Osimhen as the main candidate to replace Vlahović. They are actively planning to secure the Nigerian forward and bolster their attack, where they also hope to include Kolo Muani.
Juventus are aware that negotiations for Osimhen, who is 26 years old, will be difficult, especially given Napoli’s reluctance to sell to a Serie A competitor.
However, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli believes he can persuade Osimhen to push for a move to the Allianz Stadium, leveraging his close connection with the striker’s agents. Giuntoli was instrumental in bringing Osimhen to Napoli in 2020 when he was the sporting director for the Partenopei.
Concurrently, Giuntoli is reportedly exploring the option of extending Kolo Muani’s loan from PSG for another season. This would allow Juventus to avoid a large immediate financial outlay for his permanent signing.
The French forward has made a strong impression since joining Turin, scoring five goals in his first six Serie A matches. Juventus are keen to keep him beyond the upcoming Club World Cup and integrate him into their long-term plans.
