Napoli-owned striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly turned down a move to Juventus, paving the way for a potential transfer to the English Premier League (EPL). According to multiple sources in Italy, the Nigerian forward has informed Juventus that he has no interest in joining them for the 2025/26 season.
Osimhen, who has netted 36 goals across all competitions this season, had emerged as a primary target for the Turin-based club. However, his decision to reject Juventus has handed a significant boost to Arsenal and Manchester United, both of whom have been closely monitoring his situation.
The prolific striker has a €75 million release clause in his Napoli contract, though reports indicate that it is not valid for Serie A clubs, effectively ruling out Juventus from any potential deal. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains interested in securing Osimhen’s signature, following their acquisition of his former Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the January transfer window.
Additionally, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Osimhen’s current loan side Galatasaray are also reportedly keen on signing him permanently. Despite his contract with Napoli running until 2026, the club holds an option to extend it until 2027 if he does not secure a move this summer
