The Bianconeri prepare to invest Champions League earnings in a marquee forward. Three main targets are on the shortlist

Juventus are actively searching for a new striker and are ready to make a serious move in the summer transfer window. With €60 million guaranteed from UEFA for qualifying for next season’s Champions League, the club now has significant resources to strengthen its attacking line.

At this stage, three names stand out as top candidates. The most intriguing option is Viktor Gyökeres, who had a record-breaking season with Sporting CP. The Swedish striker has a €100 million release clause, but Juventus believe a deal could be struck for around €70 million. However, they’ll face stiff competition, particularly from Arsenal and other Premier League sides.

The second name is Victor Osimhen, owned by Napoli but recently loaned to Galatasaray. The Nigerian forward has a €75 million release clause, valid only for foreign clubs. However, it's unlikely that Aurelio De Laurentiis would be keen on strengthening a direct rival — especially if Antonio Conte ends up on the Juventus bench.

The third option is Jonathan David, who is expected to leave Lille on a free transfer. The Canadian international would offer strong value for money and has been on Juve’s radar for some time.

Meanwhile, Dušan Vlahović is officially on the market, with his contract set to expire at the end of next season. A major shake-up in Juventus’ attacking department is on the horizon.
