VICTOR OSIMHEN REJECTS JUVENTUS, PRIORITIZES PREMIER LEAGUE MOVE AS NAPOLI STAR EYES €75M SUMMER SWITCH TO 'EUROPE'S ELITE
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has ruled out a move to Juventus, instead prioritizing a transfer to the Premier League this summer. The Nigerian forward, who has been heavily linked with clubs across Europe, is expected to leave Napoli once his €120 million release clause is met.
Why Osimhen Rejected Juventus
🔹 Loyalty to Napoli – Unwilling to join a direct Serie A rival after his successful spell in Naples.
🔹 Premier League Dream – Has openly expressed interest in playing in England’s top flight.
🔹 Bigger Ambitions – Prefers a move to a club competing for Champions League titles.
Premier League Clubs in the Race
⚽ Chelsea – Desperate for a world-class striker but may struggle to afford his fee due to FFP restrictions.
⚽ Arsenal – Monitoring his situation as they seek an elite No. 9 to challenge for the Premier League title.
⚽ Manchester United – In need of a prolific striker, but ownership uncertainty could delay a move.
Napoli’s Stance
🔸 Open to selling but will not negotiate below €120m.
🔸 Prefer to sell abroad rather than strengthen a Serie A rival.
🔸 Could demand a cash-only deal rather than player swaps.
What’s Next?
🔜 Premier League clubs expected to make official bids in the coming weeks.
🔜 Napoli will push for a quick resolution to reinvest in their squad.
🔜 Juventus now forced to look at alternative striker options.
🚨 Final Verdict
Osimhen’s decision heavily boosts the chances of a Premier League switch. With Chelsea, Arsenal, and Man United all in the mix, his future could be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.
