Juventus are reportedly working on bringing Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen back to Serie A next year.

The Nigeria international left Napoli on loan after falling out with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Rai Sports' football chief Paolo Paganini, claimed Juve are now looking at other options after losing confidence in Dusan Vlahovic.

Paganini said, as quoted by Tribal Football: "Vlahovic compared to other strikers in the Italian championship, like Lautaro Martinez or like Napoli's Osimhen, is not at that level, Juventus does not have a top-level first striker. There are two names for Juventus' attack.

"One is (Jonathan) David, the Lille center forward, Canadian, so there is also the slot for non-EU players, his contract expires in 2025.

"The other is Osimhen, because it is true that he has the clause, but the relationships between Osimhen, Osimhen's agent and (Juve chief Cristiano) Giuntoli are very strong, so be careful because this summer there could be a sensational return."
