Spalletti’s Six-Target Wishlist Could Unlock Osimhen’s Juventus Move
Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti has drawn up a six-man summer wishlist that includes a goalkeeper, centre-back, full-back, defensive midfielder, playmaker and a top striker. Bringing in these players hinges on the club securing Champions League football. With Dušan Vlahović set to leave and new signings Loïs Openda and Jonathan David struggling for goals, Spalletti insists on adding a proven number nine. That demand opens the door for a reunion with Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen. Osimhen thrived under Spalletti at Napoli, scoring 26 league goals en route to the 2022/23 Serie A title. He has publicly flirted with Juventus in recent interviews and even appeared to tone down celebrations against them to keep the move alive. The biggest obstacle is a clause Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis inserted. It blocks any direct sale within two summer windows to another Serie A club unless Juventus pays a €70m fee or waits until September 2027.
