Nigeria's Victor Osimhen has been arguably one of the hottest topics in the past two transfer windows.

Despite securing a loan move to Galatasaray in early September after his much-anticipated transfer to Chelsea failed, conversations surrounding his future still dominate the headlines.

The Super Eagles striker has been rumored with a move away from Turkey despite joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keen on his signature.

Other reports indicate that the 25-year-old has been offered to Manchester United in the Premier League in January.

However, Turkish outlet Nexus Sports reports that Juventus is the latest team to join the chase for the former African Footballer of the Year.

The report indicates that the Bianconeri have begun negotiations with Napoli ahead of a potential move for the Nigerian international next summer.

This comes against the backdrop of Dusan Vlahovic's potential departure from the club.

Osimhen has had a brilliant start to his campaign at Galatasaray. The former Lille striker has registered 12 goals and five assists in 15 appearances across all competitions for Galatasaray this season.
