JAKARTA The famous Italian club Juventus is reportedly interested in bringing Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, by intensifying negotiations with Osimhen in the last 48 hours that have shown seriousness towards the Nigerian striker.

According to Sky Sport's report on Thursday, Juventus, which is reshuffling its attacking line, Osimhen is the main target to replace Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract is only one year away from his future.

However, as reported by Antara, Juventus' efforts to get Osimhen will not be easy because Napoli set a transfer price of 80 million euros (Rp1.52 trillion) for domestic clubs, higher than the release clause of 75 million euros (Rp1.43 trillion) for Italian clubs.

Osimhen, who has just returned from a loan period in Galatasaray with an impressive 26 goals and five assists in 30 appearances, confirmed his ambition to remain a career in Europe after rejecting a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal.

This brilliant performance made Juventus even more excited, despite having to compete with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain who monitored the striker's situation.

According to well-known transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus has contacted Osimhen representatives to find out the player's interest in joining the Old Lady.

If he gets the green light, Juventus will start official negotiations with Napoli, who are still reluctant to release the star into his rivals.

This transfer plan also depends on the sale of Vlahovic which can bring in funds of around 40 million euros (Rp764 billion) to support Osimhen's purchase.
