Juventus Shuts Down Victor Osimhen Transfer Rumors
Despite growing speculation, Juventus has firmly denied any interest in signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this summer.
Giorgio Chiellini, the club’s Scouting Director, addressed the rumors in an interview with Turkish outlet Habersarikirmizi, stating that there are no ongoing negotiations with the Napoli forward.
“Victor Osimhen transfer? We’ve nothing to do with Osimhen,” Chiellini said. “You have to fill the pages and report the news. We read a lot of things that make us laugh. You keep talking, we keep working.”
Victor Osimhen, 26, recently returned from a loan spell at Galatasaray and has been the subject of heavy transfer speculation. Several European clubs have reportedly shown interest, with Juventus frequently mentioned as a possible destination.
However, Chiellini’s comments have put an end to any hopes of seeing Osimhen in a Bianconeri shirt.
With Dušan Vlahović and Randal Kolo Muani already in their attacking lineup, and reports suggesting the club is close to sealing a deal for Canadian striker Jonathan David from Lille, Juventus appears to be well-covered up front.
Osimhen is expected to decide his next move soon, but it’s now clear that Turin is not on the cards.
