Juventus are looking to bolster their attack with a top goalscorer and are set to hijack Victor Gyokeres' deal from Arsenal.
The Bianconeri have shifted their primary target after Victor Osimhen reportedly prefers a move to Saudi Arabia.
Instead of the Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, "The Old Lady" has reportedly set their sights on Viktor Gyokeres, who is also being pursued by Arsenal.
A summer revolution is brewing at Juventus, both on the bench, where Igor Tudor might refuse to stay for the Club World Cup if he isn't confirmed as head coach soon, and within the playing squad.
The priority in the transfer market appears to be finding a solution at striker, a position that proved problematic last season.

Juventus drop Osimhen for Gyokeres
La Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by GSP, has revealed that Juventus has launched a bid for Viktor Gyokeres.
The Swedish striker, who turns 27 next week, boasts impressive stats from last season at Sporting: 54 goals and 13 assists in 53 matches, with 39 of those goals coming in the Portuguese league.
The 26-cap international, with 15 goals for Sweden, finished third in the race for the 2024-2025 European Golden Shoe and has a remarkable, near one goal-per-game average: 97 goals in 102 matches over two seasons with the Portuguese champions, following his €24 million transfer from Coventry in July 2023.

With such figures, the transfer fee doesn't seem prohibitive. The Sporting Lisbon goalscorer's release clause is €100 million.
This is a sum Arsenal are also reportedly willing to pay, with manager Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen his attacking options.
The funds required for the transfer from Sporting are not far off what Napoli would demand for Victor Osimhen (Juventus reportedly offered €85 million but were rejected).

The Nigerian striker is currently on loan at Galatasaray, with the Turkish champions having the option to make the move permanent for €75 million (his release clause, valid only outside of Italy!).
Juventus intends to offload Dusan Vlahovic, who has fallen out of favor with the fans and struggled last season, particularly under Thiago Motta.
And for Randal Kolo Muani, who arrived on loan from PSG in the winter, the purchase option, set between €40 and €45 million, will not be activated.
