Barcelona and Juventus are still keeping a close eye on Victor Osimhen, according to leading Spanish newspaper AS.

The Napoli striker, who is presently on loan at Galatasaray, will most likely leave the Italian club this summer.

Napoli were disappointed that they could not transfer him last summer, despite strong interest from Saudi Arabia and Chelsea, among other suitors.

His release clause has been increased to 75 million Euros, and it is only applicable to teams outside of Italy.

Juventus, for one, will have to break the money to sign Osimhen since the release clause does not apply to them.

The player has rejected them, but they remain hopeful that they may persuade him otherwise.
