According to Italian publication Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have placed the Super Eagles duo high on their priority list as they consider a significant reshuffle of their frontline.

With the increasing likelihood of Dusan Vlahovic’s departure and uncertainty surrounding the future of Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus are targeting proven goalscorers capable of immediately improving their attacking output.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is widely tipped to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at the end of the season.

Having established himself as one of Europe’s most lethal finishers, the Nigerian boasts a €75m release clause applicable to clubs outside Italy, a detail the thirty-six-time Serie A champions are closely monitoring. However, activating this clause would necessitate considerable financial maneuvering, according to the report.

Lookman, on the other hand, has been a standout performer for Atalanta since his arrival from RB Leipzig. His impressive combination of pace, direct attacking play, and tactical discipline has caught the attention of Juventus, who view him as an ideal addition to Thiago Motta’s forward line. Atalanta, however, are expected to demand a fee in the region of €60m to sanction the departure of the London-born winger.

Both players have enjoyed strong individual campaigns in Serie A and, having claimed the last two African Footballer of the Year awards between them, are considered marquee-level signings capable of making an immediate impact.

While Juventus have also been linked with a potential move for former Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, reports suggest that the club will only make two attacking acquisitions in the summer window, with Osimhen and Lookman currently heading their list of targets.

Tuttosport also indicates that while no formal offers have been submitted for either player at this stage, internal discussions within the Juventus hierarchy are ongoing as they carefully evaluate the best approach to initiate negotiations for the highly-rated Nigerian pair.
