Italian Serie A champions Juventus have joined the plethora of clubs interested in signing Nigeria international Victor Osimhen.
The Daily Mail
claims the Lille striker has strong interest from Juventus and Inter
Milan as well as Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton and Leicester City.
Osimhen was earlier valued at more than 80 million
euros by Lille chiefs but it is a foregone conclusion that he will cost
less than that amount because of the huge sums clubs are losing as a
result of the coronavirus outbreak.

can report that Juventus previously held talks with Osimhen and his
camp in January 2016 and brought one million euros (N430 million) in
cash to Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi, thinking it would be enough to sign the
2015 U17 World Cup Golden Boot winner.
And
despite upping their offer to two million euros, the bid was rejected
by Ultimate Strikers, who claimed they had already reached an agreement
with Wolfsburg.
Leicester City are looking
to sign a backup striker for Jamie Vardy next season and have Osimhen
on their radar, while the Lille number seven fueled speculation that he
could be open to a move to Everton after he was spotted wearing a
Toffees jersey last month.
