Juventus are reportedly targeting Manchester United targets Victor Osimhen and Ederson as part of a major squad overhaul.
The Bianconeri have travelled to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup, but attention back in Turin is fixed on bolstering their ranks ahead of the new campaign.
According to Sky Italia (via calciomercato), the Serie A side are pursuing both players, each of whom have also been linked with United.
Osimhen is being lined up by Juventus as a potential replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, should the Serbian striker leave the club.
The Nigerian enjoyed a stellar loan spell at Galatasaray last term, scoring 37 goals in 41 appearances.
The 26 year old remains under contract with Napoli until June 2026, although the club retains an option to extend that by another season if he is not sold by the end of the month.
His deal includes a €75 million release clause for foreign clubs, and he currently earns a net salary of €10 million per year.
United have long admired Osimhen, and Juventus’ interest could prompt renewed urgency should a late move be considered.
Osimhen would bring a lethal edge to United’s frontline that has been sorely lacking in recent seasons. His pace, power, and clinical finishing make him a nightmare for defenders and a perfect fit for Ruben Amorim’s system.
In midfield, the Serie A giants are also keen on Ederson, another name on United’s scouting shortlist.
The Atalanta midfielder played a pivotal role in helping the Bergamo outfit win the Europa League, and his performances have not gone unnoticed.
United have been tracking Ederson closely, but Juventus’ intervention could complicate any approach.
With competition intensifying, United may need to act swiftly if they hope to secure either player.
Either way, these developments could influence the shape of United’s transfer strategy in the weeks to come.
