Viktor Gyökeres on Juventus radar

As the summer transfer window approaches, Juventus are preparing for a pivotal transformation in their attacking lineup. Both Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani are expected to exit the club, with the former yet to finalize terms on a new contract and the latter unlikely to stay beyond his loan spell.

The duo’s inconsistent displays have left the club’s decision-makers unconvinced, prompting a search for a more reliable presence up front.

Juventus are eager to inject new energy into their frontline—someone capable of delivering consistent performances and carrying the team’s goal-scoring burden in high-stakes matches.

This strategy signals a broader commitment to rejuvenating the squad under a more dynamic and results-driven blueprint.

Focus shifts to Victor Gyökeres amid changing market dynamics

Initially, the club had been keeping tabs on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as a potential marquee addition. However, Osimhen’s apparent preference for a Premier League move has cooled Juventus’ interest.

In response, the Turin giants have shifted their attention to Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, who has been one of Europe’s breakout stars this season.

The 26-year-old Swede has turned heads with his prolific scoring record and physical presence in the Portuguese league, earning interest from several elite clubs, including Arsenal.

Gyökeres offers a more financially viable option than Osimhen, with Napoli’s valuation of the Nigerian striker proving difficult to meet. Juventus see Gyökeres as a high-impact player who can fit seamlessly into their tactical vision while aligning with their financial constraints.

Additional reinforcements under the radar

Alongside Gyökeres, Juventus are tracking other forwards such as Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman and Italy international Mateo Retegui.

The club’s ability to finalize these targets could depend heavily on securing Champions League football for next season—a key factor in luring top-tier talent to Turin.

Landing Gyökeres would not only signal Juventus’ intent to return to European prominence but also provide them with a forward who’s both in form and on the rise.

His potential arrival could mark the beginning of a new era in Juventus’ attacking philosophy—one built on pace, power, and precision.

Confirmation for the news arrives from Mirko Di Natale, TuttoMercato and Gazzetta dello Sport.
