Transfer: Erol names club Victor Osimhen may not join
Super Eagles of Nigeria key man, Victor Osimhen, may not be making the move to Juventus.
Popular Turkish football expert, Levent Ümit Erol, said that the move would not happen this summer, with the Old Lady closing in on a deal for Jonathan David.
David was being chased by top Turkish sides Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe but Erol said that the player has rejected the two clubs as he hopes for a move to to Serie A.
“Jonathan David, whose contract with Lille has ended, has rejected offers from Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. He is about to sign with Juventus,” Erol said, as quoted by habersarikirmizi.
“If Juventus signs Jonathan David, the possibility of Osimhen going to Juventus will be eliminated from there.”
Osimhen has already made his name in Italy with Napoli, a club he is still contracted to.
The Nigeria international was the best player in the Turkish league last season where he spent a loan spell at Galatasaray.
Osimhen scored 37 goals for the Turkish giants across all competitions, helping them win both the league title and the domestic cup.
He is yet to make a decision on his next move as Galatasaray keep pressing to sign him.
