‘Victor is not a package’ - Osimhen’s agent tells Napoli to respect Super Eagles star

Roberto Calenda, Victor Osimhen's agent has asked for respect for the Nigerian forward following his complicated transfer.

Osimhen has not featured in any games for Napoli this season after back-and-forth transfer complications with several clubs.

The forward has been linked with a move to PSG in recent weeks, but an agreement could not be reached, leading to Chelsea entering the race.

Napoli are currently demanding a massive €130 million for the forward after including the price tag in his newly signed contract.

Calenda’s comment on Osimhen

Calenda made a quick social media comment on Monday morning in response to rumours that Al-Ahli had made an offer of €70 million.

According to Fabrizio on X, Victor Osimhen’s agent said, “Victor is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets.

“Victor still has so much to do IN EUROPE. Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction.

“He made history and when there were major offers (also this year) we always accepted the club's decisions.

“Victor was elected African Footballer of the Year, 8th at the Ballon d'Or. There is a need for respect and balance.”

Al-Ahli is said to have made an offer to Napoli, but it is clear from Calenda's comments that his client prefers to wait for an offer from a European team and does not want to move to the Saudi Pro League.

Osimhen's options still include Chelsea, according to Sky Sport Italia writer Francesco Modugno from Naples on Monday morning, even if the Blues haven't made a formal offer yet.
