Juventus and Napoli Eye Young Striker Omorodion
It looks like Juventus and Napoli are both keeping a close watch on young striker Samu Omorodion from Atletico Madrid. The 20-year-old talent might just be set to leave the Spanish club before the summer transfer window closes.
Omorodion, who came from the youth teams of Nervion and Granada, signed with Atletico last summer. Last season, he was on loan at Alaves, where he had a standout year, netting eight goals in La Liga.
Now back with Atletico, rumors are swirling about his potential exit. Chelsea even tried to bring him to London, but that deal didn’t happen.
Italian journalist claims that both Juventus and Napoli are interested in signing him. Juventus had made a move to get him on loan, but Atletico is looking for a permanent sale unless another La Liga team shows interest.
Potential suitors in Spain include Villarreal and Real Sociedad. This interest from Juventus suggests Arkadiusz Milik might soon be on his way out, as he hasn’t been part of Thiago Motta’s plans during pre-season.
With Milik’s uncertain future, Dusan Vlahovic could find himself without a solid backup unless Juventus successfully lands a new striker, whether that’s Omorodion or someone else.
