Serie A powerhouse Juventus are reportedly preparing a stunning double move to bring Napoli’s title-winning manager Antonio Conte and prolific striker Victor Osimhen to Turin in what could be one of the biggest transfer coups of the summer.
Conte, who guided Napoli back to the summit of Italian football by securing the 2024-25 Scudetto in his debut season, has emerged as Juventus’ top managerial target. The former Inter Milan and Tottenham boss, who previously enjoyed immense success with Juventus between 2011 and 2014, is seen as the ideal candidate to revive the Old Lady’s fortunes after a period of inconsistency.
Meanwhile, Osimhen—who left Napoli last summer for Galatasaray—has continued his red-hot form in Turkey, netting an impressive 36 goals in just 40 appearances across all competitions. The Nigerian striker, long linked with Europe’s elite clubs, is now on Juventus’ radar as they seek a world-class forward to lead their attack.
Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà broke the news on social media, stating: “Conte plus Osimhen—two tables with Juventus to be defined calmly.” He also mentioned ongoing discussions between current Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri and Napoli, suggesting a potential managerial swap could be in the works.

While Conte was initially viewed as Napoli’s long-term project leader, Juventus’ ambitious approach could test the Partenopei’s resolve to keep him.
