Victor for Victor: Juventus identify Bayer Leverkusen striker Boniface as an alternative to Osimhen
Published: May 02, 2025
Juventus are reportedly exploring alternatives to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in their search for a new center forward, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface emerging as a key target.
While Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has long been linked with a move to Turin, his high transfer cost could deter Juventus from making a move.
As reported by Turin-based sports daily, Tuttosport, Boniface has become a leading option for Juventus as they seek to strengthen their attack.
The 24-year-old Nigerian forward has been in exceptional form for Leverkusen this season, showcasing his ability to score goals and contribute to the team’s overall play.
Boniface, who was close to a move to Saudi Arabia in the winter transfer window, is seen as a more affordable alternative to Osimhen.
Juventus have been in the market for a new striker for several months, and with Osimhen's loan situation complicating any potential deal, the club is now casting a wider net.
Boniface’s recent performances, coupled with his relative youth and potential for growth, make him an attractive target for the Italian giants.
While discussions are still ongoing, Juventus will need to weigh the financial implications of signing Boniface against their broader transfer strategy.
The club's focus is on acquiring a proven goal-scorer who can make an immediate impact in Serie A, and Boniface may be just the player to fill that void.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Juventus's pursuit of Boniface could become a key storyline, as they look to build a more competitive squad ahead of next season.
The three other forwards being considered by Juventus are Loïs Openda of RB Leipzig, Lyon's Goerges Mikautadze and Stade Rennes' Arnaud Kalimuendo.
