Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has released a statement responding to recent speculation about a substantial offer from Saudi clubs for the Napoli striker.
In a direct response, Calenda stressed the need for respect and balance regarding the future of the Nigerian.
“Victor is not a package to be sent away to make room for new prophets. We need respect and balance”, declared Calenda. This comment reflects the growing concern about potential transfer, suggesting that such moves could damage the current player’s status and contributions.
Calenda reiterated that Osimhen is firmly engaged in his role at Napoli, stressing that: “Victor Osimhen still has a lot to do in Europe”. The agent underlined that Osimhen has recently renewed his contract with Napoli, a decision made with mutual satisfaction between the club and the player.
The statement also highlighted Osimhen’s great achievements, including being named African Player of the Year and his significant 8th place in the Ballon d’Or rankings: “He has made history… and when there were big offers ( (also this year) we have always accepted the decisions of the club”, Calenda pointed out, emphasizing that despite the high offers, Osimhen has remained loyal to Napoli’s plans.
Calendas’ comments highlight the ongoing dialogue on balancing players’ ambitions with clubs’ strategies, stressing that it is important to honor Osimhen’s achievements and current role. /Football Match Up/
