Juventus intensify push for Osimhen amid Man United interest

Juventus are ramping up efforts to sign Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, who remains a strong summer target for Manchester United.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, has been in scintillating form this season. The 26-year-old Nigerian international has scored 28 goals and provided five assists in 32 appearances across all competitions, playing a crucial role in Galatasaray’s title charge.

While Manchester United have long been linked with a move for the prolific striker, reports suggest that Juventus are “pushing harder than ever” to secure his signature during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Man United ready to trigger Osimhen’s release clause

At Manchester United, forwards Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to deliver consistently in front of goal, prompting the Red Devils to explore new attacking options. The Premier League giants are reportedly ready to activate the €75 million release clause in Osimhen’s Napoli contract.

However, with Juventus now aggressively entering the race, United could face stiff competition from the Turin club to bring Osimhen back to Italy permanently.
