Juventus have shifted their transfer focus to Ademola Lookman after failing to secure a deal for fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen. Osimhen’s camp recently rejected a move to the Turin giants, with Napoli’s €75 million release clause reportedly not applicable to Italian clubs, complicating negotiations further. +

As a result, the Bianconeri are now intensifying their pursuit of Lookman, who is set to [leave Atalanta](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-governance/) this summer. The 27 year old, recently Footballer of the Year, has caught the eye of several Premier League and Serie A clubs thanks to his performances in Italy. +

Lookman’s current market valuation stands at around €60 million, making him a more accessible option for Juventus as they look to bolster their attack for the 2025/26 campaign. +

[Juventus](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/merchandising-and-branding/) may have missed out on Victor Osimhen, but their pivot to Ademola Lookman may be just as impactful if not smarter. While Osimhen remains the headline-grabbing name, Lookman offers value, versatility, and top tier pedigree without the financial acrobatics required for Napoli’s golden boy. +
+
Lookman has proven himself in Serie A with Atalanta. He’s consistent, clinical, and has evolved into a decisive forward who can change a game in a moment. The fact that he’s also the reigning African Footballer of the Year speaks volumes about his current form and influence. +
+
From Juve’s perspective, this is a logical move. Lookman brings European experience, Serie A familiarity, and a hunger that matches the Old Lady’s ambition to reclaim domestic dominance. He may not cost €100 million, but he could prove priceless. +

We believe this potential transfer could reignite Lookman’s Premier League links too. But if Juventus move quickly, they might just land a star who not only fills the Osimhen gap but does so on his terms. +

Did You Know? + + [Ademola Lookman](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/awoniyi-unbothered-by-osimhen-boniface-competition-as-afcon-nears/) scored 15 goals in his debut Serie A season with Atalanta his highest tally in a top-flight campaign. + He began his professional career at Charlton Athletic before moves to Everton, RB Leipzig, and Leicester City. + Lookman switched international allegiance from England to [Nigeria](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/nigerian-striker-officially-joins-fc-nantes-feminine-from-galatasaray/) in 2022 and made his Super Eagles debut in March of that year. + He was named 2023 CAF African Footballer of the Year after a stellar AFCON and club season. + Juventus last signed a Nigerian forward in 1999 when they brought in Sunday Oliseh, though he was primarily a midfielder. + +
