Marco Borriello Recommends Victor Osimhen to Juventus

Marco Borriello, a former Italy international, has urged Juventus to consider signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as they search for a world-class forward. Borriello highlighted Osimhen's successful tenure at Napoli, where he scored 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 appearances, contributing significantly to Napoli's Serie A title win in the 2022-2023 season.

Osimhen was also named African Footballer of the Year during this period. Despite the interest from Juventus, a potential transfer is complicated by a clause in Osimhen's contract with Turkish champions Galatasaray.

This clause stipulates that Galatasaray must pay Napoli a penalty fee of €70 million if they sell Osimhen to a Serie A club before the summer 2027 transfer window closes. This financial barrier may deter Juventus from pursuing Osimhen, especially after they previously withdrew from negotiations due to the high costs involved.
