According to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Victor Osimhen is set to decide on his future by mid-July, with Juventus remaining one of the top contenders for his signature.
The Nigerian striker has been linked with a move to several clubs, including PSG, Premier League clubs, and Galatasaray, but Juventus are still keen on signing him.
However, there are several obstacles that Juventus need to overcome to secure Osimhen’s signature. The club needs to sell Dusan Vlahovic, who is unwilling to join Fenerbahce and is waiting for offers from top European clubs.
Additionally, Juventus would need to negotiate a transfer fee with Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, as Osimhen’s €75m release clause is not valid for Serie A clubs.

He has already rejected a €30m-a-year offer from Al-Hilal and is waiting to see which club can meet his demands. According to Gazzetta, Osimhen will likely wait until mid-July before deciding on his next destination.
