Serie A giants Juventus have ended their pursuit of Victor Osimhen and have reportedly set their sights on Ademola Lookman as their summer transfer target.

According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have decided to snub Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, and prioritize a move for his Super Eagles counterpart Ademola Lookman.

Juventus are expected to enter the transfer market in the summer for a striker to replace Dušan Vlahović, as the Serbian striker is expected to leave Turin at the end of the season.

Osimhen was initially identified as a suitable signing for the Old Lady, but Napoli are adamant about not offloading the striker to a direct Serie A rival.

Additionally, Osimhen's reported €70 million release clause is only applicable to clubs outside Serie A.

Osimhen has also been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United next summer.

Lookman has also attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue 1.
