Reports from Italy suggest that Juventus are keeping a close eye on Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface as they plan ahead for next season.
The Italian giants are said to be considering a move for the Bayer Leverkusen forward if they fail to land Napoli's Victor Osimhen, who remains their top target.
The Old Lady is also reportedly monitoring another Nigeria international, Ademola Lookman.
Juventus are desperate to fix their attacking problems. They haven’t won the Serie A title since the 2019/20 season and need a reliable goalscorer to challenge again.
With Dusan Vlahovic expected to leave, Boniface has emerged as a strong candidate to replace him.
The former champions have been following Boniface for a while.

They showed interest last season after his breakout year in Germany and are now back in the hunt as they rebuild for next season.
Juve’s struggles in front of goal this season have been well documented. They have managed just 51 goals in 34 league games – the lowest among the top five sides in the league.
A signing like Boniface could give their attack a much-needed boost.
What can Victor Boniface offer ‘Old Lady' Juventus?
Boniface hasn’t hit the same heights this season as he did in his debut year, but Juventus believe he still has what it takes to thrive in Turin.
He has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 19 Bundesliga appearances – a solid return considering his season has been interrupted by injuries and other off-field challenges.
The 24-year-old Nigerian brings power, versatility, and technical quality.
He can play across the frontline and is known for his strength, smart movement, and ability to score all kinds of goals — headers, tap-ins, long-range strikes, and solo efforts.
He also creates chances for his teammates, showing good vision and decision-making in the final third.
Though he has lost his regular starting spot at Leverkusen, a move to Serie A might just be what he needs to reignite his form.
