Juventus have officially distanced themselves from speculation linking them with a move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, following a firm statement from the club’s Scouting Director, Giorgio Chiellini.
Despite widespread reports suggesting the Napoli forward—who recently returned from a loan spell at Galatasaray—was on the Bianconeri’s radar, Chiellini has now shut down the rumors.
“We’ve Nothing to Do With Osimhen”
Speaking to Turkish outlet Habersarikirmizi, the Juventus legend dismissed the media buzz, saying:
“Victor Osimhen transfer? We’ve nothing to do with Osimhen.
You’ve to fill the pages and report the news. We read a lot of things that make us laugh. You keep talking, we keep working.”
Chiellini’s blunt remarks leave no room for doubt—Osimhen is not part of Juventus’ transfer plans this summer.
Osimhen’s Next Move Still Uncertain
At 26, Osimhen remains one of Africa’s top attacking prospects. Following his loan spell in Turkey, speculation around his next destination has intensified, with top clubs across Europe reportedly monitoring his availability.
But with Juventus out of the picture, the striker will need to look elsewhere for his next move.
Juventus Attack Already Well-Stocked
Chiellini’s comments come amid reports that Juventus are focused on strengthening their attack elsewhere. The club currently boasts:
- Dušan Vlahović
- Randal Kolo Muani
- And are reportedly finalizing a deal for Jonathan David from Lille
Given this depth, it’s clear that bringing in another high-profile forward like Osimhen is not on the club’s agenda.
What This Means for Osimhen
With Juventus now out of the race, Osimhen’s options have narrowed. While clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga are rumored to be interested, no official deal has emerged yet.
His decision is expected in the coming days, and fans will be watching closely to see where the dynamic forward lands next.
Quick Recap:
- Juventus deny pursuing Osimhen
- Chiellini says rumors are media “noise”
- Osimhen’s future still up in the air
- Juve’s attacking targets focus on Jonathan David
