While Juventus is preparing to start a new era after a dull season, the Piedmontese club multiplies the tracks to renew its offensive sector. According to the Gazzetta dello Sportthe Bianconeri leaders checked the name of Viktor Gyökeres. Author of 54 goals in 52 games with Sporting this season, the Swedish striker stirs up lusts in Europe. If its release clause amounts to 100 million euros, Sporting could be satisfied with an offer of 70 million, an amount that Juve could align thanks to its European revenues and a lighter payroll by the announced departure of Dušan Vlahović.

But Gyökeres is not the only one in the Turin sight. The club also makes Victor Osimhen a serious track. Back in Naples after a successful season on loan in Galatasaray (36 goals in 40 games), the Nigerian international should not stay in Campania. Nevertheless, the negotiations promise to be bitter with Aurelio de Laurentiis, little inclined to make a gesture towards a direct rival, while the departure clause for foreigners is set at € 75 million. Despite fierce competition for the two players, Juventus does not exclude trying a double Gyökeres – Osimhen, thanks to its Champions League recipes and its next participation in the Club World Cup.
