Osimhen sets deadline for Juventus transfer

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Victor Osimhen remains Juventus' top priority target in attack, but the Old Lady must first sell Dusan Vlahovic and then convince Napoli to sell the Nigerian star, possibly before mid-July.
Napoli-owned striker Osimhen remains Juventus' transfer priority in attack, but the Bianconeri must overcome a few obstacles to get the deal done.

The Nigerian international has already rejected a €30m-a-year offer from Al-Hilal, and according to Gazzetta, he's open to continuing his career in Serie A in 2025-26.

Juventus remain one of the clubs interested, even after the departure of Cristiano Giuntoli and the appointment of Damien Comolli as their new General Manager.

Osimhen has a €75m clause in his Napoli contract, but it's not valid for Serie A clubs. This means Juventus would need to negotiate a transfer fee with Aurelio De Laurentiis, the Partenopei President.
Another obstacle arises from Vlahovic, who is unwilling to join Fenerbahce and is waiting for offers from top European clubs, with just a year left on his contract at the Allianz Stadium.

According to Gazzetta, and contrary to other reports in April, Osimhen is still open to joining Juventus, but won't wait too long to pick a new club. The Nigerian will likely wait until mid-July before deciding on his next destination.

The pink paper claims that Galatasaray still hope to sign Osimhen permanently, but Al-Hilal remain interested as well, just like PSG and some Premier League clubs.

Liverpool offered WORLD-CLASS striker

Liverpool offered Victor Osimhen Reports in Italy claim Liverpool have been offered Victor Osimhen. Not simply told they can have him, either - the deal has been laid out. Journalist Valter Di Maggio makes the claim, talking to Radio Kiss Kiss (as related by Area Napoli). Advertisement 'The English club wants Osimhen and Napoli from this point of view does not make any discounts on the clause, therefore asking for €75m as per the contract," says Di Maggio. 'The sporting director of the Neapolitan club, Giovanni Manna, has tried to ask for information for the two Reds forwards, namely Darwin Nunez and the Italian former Juventus player Federico Chiesa. 'Liverpool would have opened up to Napoli by proposing an equal exchange between the players involved in this operation. 'Aurelio De Laurentiis, however, has other ideas and is not listening: the president of the blue club is asking for Chiesa, Nunez and €20m for Osimhen's registration.' Advertisement So there's the twist here. In order to sign Osimhen, Liverpool must give them Chiesa, Nunez and around £17m. Which is an awful lot. At the same time, any money from Chiesa and Nunez would almost certainly go to fund a striker. The hope would be that their combined wages paid for the new forward's salary, too. Liverpool, then, have some thinking to do. Osimhen would now be the easiest deal to complete as they're already in talks with Napoli. But is he the one? We're not so sure. Liverpool would kick themselves if they completed this one and then found out Newcastle United were willing to sell Isak.

OGC Nice's Mattia Viti set for Fiorentina loan

Mattia Viti (23) is set for a third consecutive loan spell in Italy. As per a report from L'Équipe, the OGC Nice centre-back is set for a season-long loan at Fiorentina. Viti joined Nice from Empoli for a €13m fee back in 2022, however, since making the move to the Riviera, he has played just 12 games, all of which came during a difficult debut campaign at the Allianz Riviera. The following season, he was loaned out to Sassuolo, and he then spent last season on loan at his former club, Empoli. Advertisement Whilst the move to his formative club will not be made permanent, the Italy U21 international is not expected to return to Nice this summer. L'Équipe understands that he will be sent out on loan to Fiorentina. A deal in principle has been agreed, which also includes a purchase option worth over €4.5m. Le Gym have also negotiated a percentage of a future sale. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
