Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly eyeing a double swoop for Napoli manager Antonio Conte and star striker Victor Osimhen, Soccernet.ng reports. 

Napoli have just returned to the top of Italian football, scooping the Scudetto title for the 2024-25 season campaign, thanks to Conte’s guidance. Although without the presence of Osimhen.

Meanwhile, Osimhen picked up from where he left off and showed a positive performance in Turkey, scoring 36 goals in all 40 appearances for Galatasaray SK this season.

According to respected Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Juventus are calmly exploring the possibility of luring both Conte and Osimhen away from Naples.

In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Pedullà revealed that two tables are currently in motion involving the pair, with the situation expected to evolve.

“Conte plus Osimhen—two tables with Juventus to be defined calmly,” Pedullà wrote, as quoted by calcionapoli24. “Allegri-Napoli: the road remains the same after the already unveiled meeting between Max and the blue club.”

This development follows a reported meeting between current Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and Napoli officials, fueling speculation of a potential managerial swap between the two Italian giants.

Conte, who only recently took charge of Napoli, was seen as a long-term appointment to steady the club after a turbulent post-Scudetto season. However, Juventus’ interest in bringing him back—after his recent successful stint—could disrupt those plans.

Meanwhile, Osimhen has been linked with a move away from the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium for months, with Chelsea, PSG, and Al Hilal all previously mentioned as potential suitors. Juventus entering the frame—especially as a domestic rival—is something to watch this summer.
