Juventus Attempt to Take Transfer Lead Over Arsenal, Chelsea for €75M-Rated PSG Target | OneFootball

Victor Osimhen’s transfer saga saw Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain heavily linked with the Nigerian striker last summer. Now, with his form back to the level he displayed during the 2022-23 season, Osimhen is poised to draw even more interest from top clubs when the 2025 transfer windows open.

After his move from Napoli fell through, the 25-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan, where he has been in outstanding form. This season, he has already tallied eight goals and five assists in just 11 appearances for the Turkish side.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Osimhen’s release clause is set at approximately €80 million for January, potentially dropping to €70 million next summer. Meanwhile, Daniel Riolo of After Foot RMC has hinted that Paris Saint-Germain might rekindle their interest in the striker.

Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, and may trigger his €75 million (£62.2 million) release clause, according to Il Mattino (h/t GOAL). The 25-year-old forward could even make a move as early as the January transfer window.

According to a report from CaughtOffside this week, Arsenal and Chelsea are considering other top forward targets, including Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic.

Nonetheless, Osimhen has made it clear that he has no plans to leave in January, despite the reports. As a result, it will be interesting to see what transpires.

“I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray until the end of the season,” Osimhen said. “I do not know what Galatasaray and Napoli are talking about afterward, but if they come to me, we will talk. Galatasaray is a nice club that I like very much. I am very happy at Galatasaray.”
