Summer Transfer Frenzy: Juventus Eye Tonali and Osimhen for Major Rebuild
Juventus are gearing up for a major squad overhaul with targets on Sandro Tonali and Victor Osimhen, while Atletico Madrid seek to replace Griezmann.
Juventus' Strategic Moves
Juventus are reportedly setting their sights on Sandro Tonali, the dynamic midfielder from Newcastle United, and Victor Osimhen, the prolific striker currently on loan at Galatasaray. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus’ sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has already initiated talks to secure these high-profile signings. Tonali, aged 24, is seen as a dream addition to the midfield, while Osimhen, 26, brings a proven goal-scoring record, having contributed to 22 goals across 22 appearances this season. The Nigerian international’s release clause stands at around €80 million, but it’s only applicable to clubs outside Serie A.

Mateta, 27, has been in fine form recently, contributing to 11 goals in 24 Premier League matches.
