Juventus have reportedly identified the perfect alternative to Victor Osimhen and will go for another Nigerian.

Victor Osimhen is likely to be the hottest property on the transfer market this summer, and several of Europe's top clubs retain a strong interest.

Serie A giants Juventus have been credited with an interest i the 26-year-old, but the finances involved have forced the Old Lady to turn their attention elsewhere.

The Italians are looking to revamp their attacking department in the summer transfer window, with Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani both in line to leave at the end of the 2024-25 season.

Victor Boniface did not wanted to be compared to Wayne Rooney.

Boniface has struggled with injuries and fitness issues this season, scoring just 11 goals in 27 appearances.
