Italian giants Juventus are set to make Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali their main target in the summer if they lose striker Dusan Vlahovic and wing-back Andrea Cambiaso.

According to reports, the Old Lady is looking to sell Vlahovic and Cambiaso in the summer and will be on the lookout for superstar players to help lead the charge. 

Osimhen is not new to the Serie A having led Napoli to their first domestic league title in 33 years before having a fallout with his employers while Tonali also has Serie A experience with AC Milan and Brescia. 

There is also the potential for a deal with Napoli for Osimhen, whom Calciomercato has described as Cristiano Giuntoli’s “dream” signing for the attack.

However, negotiations with Napoli are expected to be challenging, as the player’s release clause reportedly applies only to clubs outside Italy. This means Giuntoli would need to negotiate directly with his former employer, Aurelio De Laurentiis, to make the transfer happen.

Calciomercato.com also revealed that Tonali is being viewed as a dream option for Juve’s midfield in the summer. The deal can easily materialize as former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz has failed to impress since his move in the summer. 

Osimhen is currently on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray and has been in good form scoring 17 goals and providing five assists in 23 games across all competitions for the Cimbom. Juve will have a hard time signing the Nigeria international in the summer as several top teams are already lining up for a summer move for the 26-year-old.
