Victor Osimhen has once again found himself at the center of transfer speculation — and this time, his own words have added fuel to the fire.
The Nigerian striker, now 27, has been persistently linked with Juventus, and in recent hours he made it clear that wearing the famous black-and-white shirt would be a dream come true.

Speaking ahead of the Champions League clash between Galatasaray and the Italian giants, Osimhen did not hide his admiration.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, the forward openly acknowledged that he previously had a strong desire to join the Turin-based club before his move to Turkey materialized.
“Juventus is one of the most important clubs in the world. It has a long history and many legends have played there,” Osimhen admitted.
He revealed that discussions had taken place in the past, and that he was enthusiastic about the possibility. However, certain obstacles prevented the deal from being finalized at the time.
Future Uncertain Despite Long-Term Deal
Currently under contract with Galatasaray until June 2029, Osimhen emphasized that he remains happy and committed to his present club. Nevertheless, his comments suggest that he has not completely ruled out a future move.
“If opportunities arise, there are several clubs I would love to play for. It would be a privilege to represent Juventus,” he stated candidly.

His remarks are likely to reignite transfer rumors, especially given Juventus’ ongoing search for attacking reinforcements.
While no formal negotiations are currently underway, the player’s openness could encourage the Bianconeri hierarchy to revisit the idea in upcoming transfer windows.
For now, Osimhen’s focus remains on the pitch. Yet in modern football, public declarations of admiration often carry weight.
Whether this subtle invitation leads to concrete action remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the connection between Osimhen and Juventus is far from fading.
