Serie A or Premier League: What’s the best next step for Osimhen as Juventus step up chase?

Super Eagles talisman, Victor Osimhen, finds himself at the center of a major transfer tussle between Serie A giants, Juventus, and English Premier League clubs, Soccernet.ng reports. 

The Nigerian attacker continues to shine in the Super Lig despite his move away from Napoli, which was said to have happened after a fallout between the player and the club’s representatives.

Meanwhile, with the summer transfer window fast approaching, Italian heavyweights Juventus reportedly intensify efforts to secure his signature.

The Napoli-owned forward, who remains one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, is also on the radar of Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Per TEAMtalk, as cited by the Hard Tackle, Juventus are “pushing harder than ever” to lure the second all-time top scorer of the Super Eagles away from their Serie A rivals.

Having struggled to find a consistent goal scorer since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Old Lady sees Osimhen as the ideal man to lead their attacking line in a new era under manager Igor Tudor.

The Turin club are keen to capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s future. Although, Osimhen has previously voiced his admiration for the Premier League, but with Juventus willing to match Napoli’s valuation, the prospect of staying in Italy could be appealing.

Meanwhile, Manchester United remain strong contenders for the striker’s signature. The Red Devils are in search of a proven frontman to boost their firepower next season, especially after an underwhelming campaign in front of goal.

Osimhen has proven his credentials in Serie A, finishing as the league’s top scorer in the 2022/23 season and playing a crucial role in helping Napoli clinch their first Scudetto in over three decades.

While a move to England would offer new challenges, a switch to Juventus keeps him in familiar surroundings and allows him to continue dominating the Italian top flight with a new project.

Should Osimhen continue his journey in Serie A with a Juventus switch or leap to the Premier League with Manchester United? Fans await how the upcoming transfer market will play out.
