Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria U17 international Victor Osimhen and his entourage have turned down a move to Serie A powerhouse Juventus.

Representatives of the Bianconeri flew into Lagos last weekend for contract talks with Ultimate Strikers, with the Golden Eaglets striker, his elder brother, Shira Yussuf and Ariyo Igbayilola all attending the meeting held at Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi.

During talks, Ultimate Strikers made their position crystal clear, informing Juventus that they had already agreed terms with an unnamed club in Europe and do not want to start a controversy.

The owners of Juventus, the Agnelli Family, have interests in Nigeria and were willing to pay two million euros in transfer fees straight away if Osimhen and his reps had agreed terms with the Turin - based club.

Wolfsburg are thought to be in pole position to secure the signature of Victor Osimhen but face stiff competition from English side Arsenal.
