Victor Osimhen has turned down the chance to return to the Serie A with Juventus in the summer window.
Juventus director of football Cristiano Giuntoli had hinted that the Turin based club will do everything they can to sign Osimhen and are even read to pay €85m in excess of the €75m release clause to Napoli.
But according reports by Radio Kiss Kiss and Il Mattino, Osimhen is not ready to play in Italy next season, preferring instead to join clubs in the Premier League or the French Ligue 1.
English clubs Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are eyeing the 36 goals in all competitions striker in his loan spell with Galatasaray.
Osimhen helped the Turkish club to a domestic double and they too have also expressed their desire to keep the player.
Paris St Germain who cooled off their interest last year are said to be back and looking at reuniting Osimhen with his former Napoli strike partner Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Osimhen whose contract with Napoli expires 2026, was ready to join PSG last season, but the Paris club suddenly backed out after agreeing terms with Napoli.
