Juventus has reportedly made a record-breaking offer of €70 million for Victor Osimhen, as the Italian club aims to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window.
The move positions them as frontrunners in the race for the Nigerian striker.
Recent reports indicate that Manchester United, once considered a major contender for Osimhen, has withdrawn from the competition, shifting the spotlight to European and Middle Eastern clubs eyeing the in-demand forward.
Osimhen, 26, has become a highly sought-after player after a stellar season at Galatasaray, where he has scored 30 goals and provided seven assists in 35 appearances.
His remarkable form has brought him back to the forefront of Europe’s most prolific attackers, a level he last reached during the 2022–23 season.
Transfer expert David Ornstein has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are now in strong contention for the striker, following Manchester United’s exit. PSG, long-time admirers of Osimhen, are reportedly preparing to trigger his £63 million release clause and meet his wage demands.
According to sources from Give Me Sport, PSG’s increasing interest has sparked concern among other suitors, particularly Chelsea and United, who now see the French club as their primary rival for Osimhen’s signature.
In a surprising development, journalist Ben Jacobs has reported that Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal is also monitoring the situation.
Al-Hilal, who initially had plans to sign Mohamed Salah, is now considering redirecting those funds to secure Osimhen’s services. With the FIFA Club World Cup on the horizon, the club is eager to sign a marquee player, and Osimhen has become one of their top targets.
Sources close to the player suggest he may be open to a move to Saudi Arabia if the right offer is made.
As the competition for Osimhen intensifies, the race for his signature is expected to heat up in the coming weeks.
