Victor Osimhen is still at the top of Juve’s wish list. He was Cristiano Giuntoli’s first choice, and he remains the preferred option even after the management shake-up. The Nigerian striker played last season with Galatasaray but remains owned by Napoli, who are preparing to fight to avoid a repeat of the Higuain situation. Let’s find out how the odds on Osimhen joining Juve are changing in the summer transfer market on the boards of the main betting sites.

OSIMHEN JUVE TRANSFER MARKET ODDS— Juve has decided: if Vlahovic leaves, the Nigerian would be the number one target for both Tudor and CEO Comolli. Still smart from Higuain’s betrayal, Napoli has set a hefty price tag to let the Nigerian go: €75 million, but only for foreign clubs. Yes, because an Italian club would need to put an even higher figure on the table to move De Laurentiis, who hopes to tempt not only the ever-present Arabs of Al Hilal but also Premier League clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea, or European champions PSG, with whom he has good relations after the Kvaratskhelia deal.

THE ODDS— However, time is on the side of the Bianconeri, who have already secured the player’s approval: if no offers are made by the end of the transfer window, Juve’s emissaries could reopen talks with Napoli. This is why the operators of the main betting sites are not revealing their cards: the odds on Osimhen joining Juventus on September 1 remain low, between 3.50 at Snai and 3.00 at Sisal and Gazzabet, a sign that the bookmakers—now that Giuntoli is out of the picture—believe the deal will go through.
