Juventus concerned with Osimhen-Man Utd talks and pick 50m alternative

Tuttosport newspaper reports that Juventus are still closely following negotiations between Victor Osimhen and Manchester United, while Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui emerges as one of their primary alternatives for €50m.

Juventus will reshuffle their attack in the 2025-26 campaign as Randal Kolo Muani is on loan from PSG, while Dusan will likely be put on the market as the Serbian is refusing to extend his contract with the Bianconeri.

Juventus concerned with Osimhen-Man Utd talks and pick 50m alternative

According to Tuttosport, Osimhen remains a priority target for the Old Lady, but the Nigeria international is already in talks with Manchester United, and his purchase from Napoli would cost at least €70m plus a double-figure salary.

One of the main alternatives to Osimhen is Atalanta and Italy striker Retegui, the Serie A leading scorer this season.

Osimhen’s compatriot, Ademola Lookman, another Atalanta striker, is also a target for Juventus, but he is more of a support striker than a classic centre forward.

According to Tuttosport, Retegui would cost at least €50m. Jonathan David, on the other hand, is available on a free transfer, but has high salary and commission costs.

Liam Delap is another centre-forward on the Juventus’ agenda, and his purchase from Ipwish would cost at least €35m.
