Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has emerged as one of four alternative targets for Italian giants Juventus, should they fail to secure their top summer priority, Victor Osimhen.
Juventus have made no secret of their desire to bring the Nigeria international to Turin as they prepare for a major overhaul of their attacking lineup. With strikers Dušan Vlahović and Randal Kolo Muani both expected to depart at the end of the season, the club is actively searching for a marquee replacement.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in scintillating form, scoring 31 goals and providing eight assists, playing a key role in what could be a domestic double for the Turkish side.
The Napoli striker tops Juventus’ wishlist, but his €75 million valuation and interest from several top European clubs could complicate the deal.

As a contingency plan, the Bianconeri have reportedly shortlisted four potential alternatives: Osimhen’s international teammate and Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface, RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda, Georgian forward Georges Mikautadze, and Rennes’ 23-year-old striker Arnaud Kalimuendo.
According to Italian media, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has been closely monitoring Boniface’s progress at Bayer Leverkusen for several months.
