J uventus are already making plans for the upcoming summer transfer window, with reports suggesting they are targeting both Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani as they prepare for the likely departure of Dusan Vlahovic.
In January, Juventus secured a loan deal for Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to provide competition and depth in their attack, with the intention of rotating with Vlahovic. However, the deal was only for a straight loan until the end of the 2024-25 season, meaning Kolo Muani will return to PSG in the summer.
Sources indicate that Juventus are working on negotiating another season-long loan for the French forward, potentially with an option to buy. However, PSG’s newly extended head coach Luis Enrique is reportedly not keen on reintegrating Kolo Muani into his squad following his loan spell.
While Kolo Muani’s future remains uncertain, Juventus are not just focusing on the Frenchman. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus' sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is also working on a move for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli.
Osimhen, who has been in excellent form during his loan in Turkey, with 17 goals and five assists in 24 appearances, has a release clause of €75 million that becomes active in the summer. However, it’s believed that Napoli are unlikely to want to sell to a direct league rival, complicating Juventus’ pursuit.
Despite this, Osimhen has continued to impress, further raising his profile ahead of a potential summer move. The 26-year-old also reportedly turned down a move to Manchester United in January to stay in Turkey for the remainder of his loan spell.
As the summer window approaches, it remains unclear whether Osimhen will return to Serie A with Juventus or head to the Premier League, as Galatasaray looks to make his loan move permanent.
