Juventus legend David Trezeguet admits ‘everyone wants’ Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.
The Nigeria international is Serie A’s leading scorer with 17 goals in 18 appearances this season.
The Partenopei President Aurelio De Laurentiis has recently admitted that he does not need to sell the ex-Lille striker in the summer as Napoli are not struggling financially. Nevertheless, rumours about the future of the Nigerian striker won’t stop.
“I’ve been following him, everyone wants him,” former Juventus striker Trezeguet told DAZN.
“Everyone talks about him, in Germany, in France…he already did well with Lille. Osimhen is a unique striker, the prototype of a modern striker. He is fast and moves so much on the pitch. I think he has improved and can become an important striker. He knows what to do in every moment of the game.”
Trezeguet also spoke about the future of Juventus. The Old Lady has been handed a 15-point deduction and more trouble could come in the future following a second sporting trial looking into the so-called ‘salary manoeuvre.’
Juventus have appointed a new board of directors, but with no figures who can link the board and the team, such as ex-vice president Pavel Nedved.
Would Trezeguet be open to returning to Turin?
“I repeat what I said in Qatar. I think Bayern Munich offer the clearest example. They identify a former player who has been prepared by the club and can cover that role. Juventus need someone like in the past, important figures who have made history. I think they need these sorts of figures.”
Trezeguet scored 171 goals in 320 games with Juventus and is the most prolific foreign player in the history of the Bianconeri.
