Juventus are reportedly preparing a summer move for Nigerian duo Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, as the Turin club look to sharpen their attacking edge ahead of the 2025/26 season, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have placed the two Super Eagles forwards high on their priority list as they consider reshaping their front line. With Dusan Vlahovic increasingly likely to exit and uncertainty surrounding Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus are targeting proven scorers capable of elevating their goal output in the final third.
Osimhen, currently at Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, is widely expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at the end of the season having established himself as one of Europe’s most clinical finishers and has a €75m release clause for clubs outside Italy, which the thirty-six-time Serie A winners are monitoring closely. Triggering that clause, however, would require significant financial manoeuvring per the report.
Lookman, on the other hand, has been one of Atalanta’s standout performers since joining from RB Leipzig. His blend of pace, directness, and tactical discipline has attracted the attention of Juventus, who view him as an ideal fit for Thiago Motta’s forward line. Atalanta, however, are expected to demand a fee in the region of €60m to part ways with the London-born winger.
Both players have enjoyed strong campaigns in Serie A, and having won the last two African Footballer of the Year awards, are seen as marquee-level additions capable of making an immediate impact. While Juventus are also being linked to former Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, reports indicate that only two attacking signings will be made, with Osimhen and Lookman currently leading the shortlist.
Tuttosport also reported that no formal offers have yet been submitted, but internal discussions within the Bianconeri continue as they weigh up how best to approach negotiations for the Nigerian pair.
