Barcelona, Juventus target Victor Osimhen ahead of summer transfer window

By Dayo Awoniyi

Top European clubs Barcelona and Juventus are monitoring Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of a potential summer transfer, according to Spanish outlet AS.

Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Turkish side Galatasaray, is expected to leave Napoli at the end of the season.

The Serie A club failed to secure a deal for the Nigerian international last summer, despite strong interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and Chelsea.

A €75 million release clause—reportedly only applicable to clubs outside Italy—poses a significant hurdle for Juventus, who remain keen on the striker despite Osimhen previously turning down their approach.

Barcelona are also said to be weighing a move, as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

With the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around Osimhen’s next destination is set to intensify.
