The agent of Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen has reacted to wide spread reports about Napoli reaching agreement with Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia for the transfer of the 25 year old, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Napoli according to several reports have agreed a fee of €65m with Al Ahli for the transfer of the Nigerian, who is keen on leaving the club but wants to leave on his terms and choices.
Already Napoli have signed his replacement in Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku, but his departure is still unsure with clubs bulking at the asking price of €130m.
New Napoli coach Conte hasn’t given the Nigerian a minute in pre season, league or cup games since he took over as coach insisting on honoring the agreement reached with the striker, when he signed a new deal in December.
Osimhen’s agent has waded in on the situation of his client at Napoli calling for respect, and suggesting that Osimhen still has a lot to do in Europe subtly dismissing all talks of a move to Saudi Arabia.
“Victor is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. We need respect and balance”. “Victor Osimhen still has so much to do ”, Roberto Calenda posted on X formerly known as Twitter.
“Osimhen is a Napoli player, with his contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction on club/player side. He made history… and when there were major offers (also this year) we always accepted club’s decisions”.
“Victor was elected African footballer of the year, 8th at the Ballon d’Or. There is need for respect and balance”.
