Juventus Submits Official Bid for Victor Osimhen Amidst Napoli’s Preference for Saudi Arabia Sale
Italian football giants, Juventus, have formally submitted a bid for Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, valued at 85 Million Euros, according to reports from Corriere dello Sport.
This move comes as Napoli, Osimhen’s current club, is reportedly more inclined to sell the player to a Saudi Arabian club rather than a local rival.
The 75 Million Euros release clause in Osimhen’s contract with Napoli is only applicable to clubs outside of Italy, making Juventus’ bid of 85 Million Euros a necessary move to secure the player’s services. Napoli’s President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is said to be keen on selling Osimhen to a Saudi Arabian club, rather than allowing him to join a domestic rival.
Juventus’ bid for Osimhen demonstrates the club’s serious interest in acquiring the talented Nigerian striker. With Osimhen’s impressive goal-scoring record and versatility on the pitch, he would be a valuable addition to Juventus’ squad.
The club’s willingness to meet Napoli’s asking price also highlights their determination to strengthen their attacking lineup.
Napoli’s preference for selling Osimhen to a Saudi Arabian club is likely driven by the desire to avoid strengthening a local rival.
By selling to a foreign club, Napoli can ensure that Osimhen’s talents are not used against them in future Serie A matches.
The Saudi Arabian league has been actively recruiting top talent in recent years, and Osimhen’s move to the Middle East could be an attractive option for both the player and Napoli.
As the transfer saga unfolds, football fans will be keeping a close eye on the following developments:
1. *Napoli’s Response to Juventus’ Bid*: Will Napoli accept Juventus’ offer, or will they hold out for a better deal from a Saudi Arabian club?
2. *Osimhen’s Preference*: Does Osimhen have a preference for joining Juventus or a Saudi Arabian club?
3. *Saudi Arabian Interest*: Which Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in signing Osimhen, and what kind of offer can they make to Napoli?
The outcome of this transfer saga will have significant implications for the future of Italian football and the career of Victor Osimhen.
