Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been heavily linked to a move to Juventus this summer, but the move could fall apart
Victor Osimhen’s potential transfer to Juventus could be in serious doubt as the club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, faces an uncertain future.

With Juventus struggling to secure a top-four finish and financial stability hinging on Champions League qualification, changes at the club could impact their transfer strategy, including a move for the Nigerian striker.
Giuntoli’s job under threat amidst Juventus crisis
Juventus have endured a disastrous second half of the season, dropping out of the top four after back-to-back defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina.
)
With Champions League qualification slipping away, pressure is mounting on Giuntoli and head coach Thiago Motta, both of whom were brought in to spearhead a new project aimed at restoring Juventus to their former glory.
At the start of the season, Juventus looked like they were on the right track, having spent €200 million in the summer transfer window to bolster their squad.
)
However, disappointing European exits and inconsistent league form have left the club desperate for a financial boost, which only Champions League football can provide. Without it, major changes could be on the way.
Reports suggest that Giuntoli’s role is now being scrutinised, with Juventus' hierarchy considering a shake-up in the footballing sector. If the team fails to clinch a top-four finish, it wouldn’t be surprising to see both Giuntoli and Motta dismissed, despite their contracts running until 2028.
Osimhen’s Juventus move falling apart
With Giuntoli’s future in doubt, so too is Osimhen’s potential transfer to the Turin giants. The Nigerian striker, who has been in sensational form for Galatasaray, scoring 26 goals and providing five assists in 30 matches, was heavily linked with a move to Juventus due to his close ties with Giuntoli.
)
The sporting director was the driving force behind Osimhen’s original transfer to Napoli, and his presence at Juventus made the move a real possibility.
However, if Giuntoli departs, Juventus may abandon their pursuit of Osimhen altogether, leaving the striker with plenty of other options.
)
A Galatasaray official recently revealed that five top clubs are in the race for his signature, so missing out on Juventus is unlikely to derail Osimhen’s plans for a big move.
Osimhen remains a hot commodity, with elite clubs circling, ensuring that wherever he lands, he’ll be playing at the highest level next season.
