Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has vehemently denied rumors of a loan move for the prolific Nigerian striker.
Addressing the swirling speculations, Calenda expressed frustration and called for respect towards his client.
In an exclusive statement to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Calenda dismissed the rumors as baseless and offensive.
“I read about ‘fantasy exchanges’ with Victor… as if he was a package to be delivered quickly,” Calenda said, highlighting the absurdity of the circulating news.
Osimhen, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s historic third Scudetto win, has been the subject of intense media speculation recently.
The striker’s exceptional performance last season, where he emerged as the top scorer, has inevitably attracted attention from various clubs.
However, Calenda made it clear that Osimhen’s value to Napoli transcends mere transactions.
“This package is the top scorer of the third Scudetto in the history of Napoli,” Calenda stated, underscoring Osimhen’s significant contributions to the team.
His words echoed the sentiments of Napoli fans who regard Osimhen not just as a player, but as a symbol of their recent triumph.
Calenda further urged media outlets and fans alike to refrain from spreading false information.
“Respect and stop fake news!” he demanded, emphasizing the need for accuracy and consideration in reporting.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Osimhen’s future at Napoli remains a focal point of discussion. Despite the rumors, Calenda’s firm denial serves as a reminder of the striker’s pivotal role in Napoli’s success and the respect he commands within the club.
For now, Napoli fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their star striker isn’t going anywhere, as affirmed by his dedicated agent. The focus remains on preparing for another thrilling season with Osimhen leading the charge.
