Italian football giants Juventus are reportedly eyeing Nigerian forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman as top transfer targets ahead of the 2025/26 season.
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Juventus are planning to revamp their attack, with both Osimhen and Lookman seen as key players who can boost their goal-scoring power. The club is preparing for the likely exit of striker Dusan Vlahovic and remains uncertain about Randal Kolo Muani’s future.
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is expected to leave the Italian club this summer. The Super Eagles star has a release clause of €75m for clubs outside Italy. Juventus are said to be watching the situation closely, although activating the clause could require some serious financial planning.
Meanwhile, Lookman has impressed at Atalanta since moving from RB Leipzig. His speed, sharp runs, and work ethic have made him a standout performer. Juventus believe he could be a perfect fit under new coach Thiago Motta, but Atalanta will reportedly demand around €60m for the winger.
Both players have had strong seasons in Serie A and have each won the African Footballer of the Year award in the last two years. Juventus see them as top-quality signings who can make an instant difference on the pitch.
The club has also been linked with Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund, but reports say they plan to sign only two forwards — with Osimhen and Lookman leading the race.
As of now, no official offers have been made, but Juventus are still discussing the best approach for securing both Nigerian stars.
