All things being the same, Juventus may now be set to break the bank for Victor Osimhen’s signature in the summer.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus sports director Cristiano Guintoli, who signed Osimhen for Napoli five years ago, will push for the striker’s signature in the summer after he also tried to get him in the January transfer window.
Juventus have been banking on a big transfer of striker Dusan Vlahovic and this may now happen in the summer to give room for Osimhen’s arrival.
Guintoli will then have to sit down with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to negotiate just how much Juventus will have to pay outside the release clause of 75 Million Euros reserved for clubs outside Italy. This has been described as “a difficult operation for many reasons” for Juventus.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray will take Alvaro Morata on loan from AC Milan with experts suggesting that the much-traveled striker is the direct replacement for Victor Osimhen, when his loan transfer runs out in the summer. Napoli have rejected a 65 Million Euros from Galatasaray to make Osimhen’s transfer permanent.
Emerging reports are that Morata transfer to Galatasaray is very much on track as Milan and Gala have now verbally agreed on all terms of the move. It will be an initial loan with option to extend by one year and buy clause is included. Documents are being checked and then Morata will fly to Istanbul to complete the transfer.
