With Juventus having finally made their choice, the future of Victor Osimhen is now that little bit clearer.
The Serie A giants have been one of a number of clubs interested in the 26-year-old, with parent club Napoli keen to get him off the books following a successful season on loan with Galatasaray.
Osimhen turned down several bids from Saudi giants and Club World Cup quarter-finalists Al Hilal in favour of remaining in Europe, and it was understood that Juventus were one of his preferred options.
Will Victor Osimhen play for Juventus?

While this makes it unlikely the Old Lady will return for the Nigeria international, this nevertheless clears things up in the transfer stakes. Still at the table, per reports, are Liverpool, who are reportedly in talks to sell Darwin Nunez to Napoli, a move that could result in a swap deal to bring Osimhen to Anfield.
