Galatasaray's Nigerian star Victor Osimhen has entered the January transfer plans of Italian giants Juventus. Italian sports consultant Nicola Penta said Juventus could prepare an offer for Osimhen with a €30-40 million down payment and the remaining amount paid in installments. It is reported that the yellow-red management, however, is not warm to letting the star striker go mid-season.
Victor Osimhen, who has attracted attention with his performance at Galatasaray, continues to be on the transfer agenda of European clubs. This time Juventus is the name at the forefront for the Nigerian striker, while statements from Italy indicated that a remarkable transfer move could take place in January.
HE RECOMMENDED OSIMHEN TO JUVENTUS
Italian sports consultant and lawyer Nicola Penta, who is said to have close ties with the Juventus management, in his statement to TMW Radio identified Victor Osimhen as the most suitable name for the Turin club's center-forward position. Penta stated that the Nigerian star had previously come very close to transferring to Juventus, but the agreement did not materialize due to an unknown development.
€30-40 MILLION DOWN PAYMENT FORMULA
Penta stated that Juventus could present Galatasaray with a structured offer for the Osimhen transfer. Accordingly, the Italian club could work on a formula involving paying a €30-40 million down payment and covering the remaining part of the transfer fee in installments. However, it is noted that these figures are not an official offer made by Juventus and are based on Penta's assessment.
GALATASARAY IS NOT WARM TO SELLING
The uncertainty regarding Osimhen's recovery process after his surgery is also cited among the factors that could affect possible transfer negotiations. While it is assessed that Juventus may act cautiously for this reason, it is stated that Galatasaray does not want to send its star player away mid-season.
The Nigerian striker's contract with the yellow-and-red club continues until 2029. The Galatasaray management is not expected to make it easy for Osimhen, one of the team's important names, to leave.
13 GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN 11 MATCHES
Victor Osimhen has produced 10 goals and 3 assists in 11 matches he has played in a Galatasaray shirt this season. The Nigerian star directly contributed to a total of 13 goals, demonstrating his impact on the yellow-and-red team's attacking line.
