Osimhen not suitable for Juventus – Toni

Former Italy forward Luca Toni is uncertain Victor Osimhen would suit Thiago Motta’s style at Juventus.

Juventus are reportedly considering a summer move for Osimhen.

The Nigeria international is currently on loan at Galatasaray and will be available for €75m in the summer.

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli brought Osimhen to Napoli in 2020 and the pair have a good relationship.

Toni, who won the 2006 World Cup with Italy, feels the Nigerian would not suit Thiago Motta’s playing style.

“At the end of the season, everyone will have to make assessments, starting with Juventus, who must decide what kind of striker they want to rely on,” ex-Juventus striker Toni told Gazzetta.

“Osimhen offers more depth than Vlahovic but perhaps links the play even less than Dusan. So, I’m unsure if it would make much difference for Thiago Motta.”

He has so far scored 12 goals in 15 league appearances for Galatasaray this season.
