Juventus Denies Transfer Interest in Victor Osimhen
Juventus Scouting Director Giorgio Chiellini has made it clear that the club has no involvement in the ongoing rumours linking Victor Osimhen to Turin. The Nigerian striker has been at the centre of transfer speculation this summer, with reports suggesting Juventus and other European clubs are interested in securing his services.
Osimhen recently completed a season-long loan spell with Galatasaray from Napoli, and the 26-year-old is expected to make a decision about his future soon. However, Chiellini dismissed the Juventus rumours, saying, “We have nothing to do with Osimhen. People need to fill pages and create stories. We read all sorts of things that make us laugh. You talk, we work.”
Juventus already boast Dušan Vlahović and Randal Kolo Muani in attack and are close to adding former Lille striker Jonathan David to their squad this summer.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
