Speculation Surrounds Victor Osimhen’s Future
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has been at the center of intense transfer speculation this summer. Recently, reports emerged suggesting that Osimhen could join Chelsea FC Club on loan with an option to buy, while Romelu Lukaku would move to Napoli on a permanent transfer. However, Osimhen’s agent has strongly denied these claims.
Agent Responds to Swap Deal Rumors
Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, took to social media to address the swirling rumors. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Calenda dismissed the idea of a swap deal between Osimhen and Lukaku as completely false. He emphasized that Osimhen is not a player who can be casually traded. Calenda highlighted Osimhen’s significant contribution to Napoli, noting that he was the top scorer in their third Scudetto-winning campaign. He urged the media to show more respect to the Nigerian striker and stop spreading false news.
Osimhen’s Absence Fuels Speculation
Osimhen was notably absent from Napoli’s squad for their latest pre-season friendly, further fueling speculation about a potential move away from the club. His absence has led many to believe that a transfer could be imminent. Despite this, Osimhen’s camp has remained firm in denying any concrete links to Chelsea FC Club.
Interest from Paris Saint-Germain
In addition to Chelsea FC Club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has also shown interest in signing Victor Osimhen. PSG’s interest adds another layer of complexity to Osimhen’s situation, as the French giants are known for their aggressive transfer strategies and financial prowess. However, no official bids have been reported, and Napoli has not made any public statements regarding Osimhen’s future.
Napoli’s Stance on Osimhen
Napoli has so far remained silent on the matter, with no official statements regarding Osimhen’s potential transfer. The club is likely keen to retain their star striker, especially considering his pivotal role in their recent success. However, the ongoing speculation and interest from top European clubs may eventually force Napoli to address the situation publicly.
Conclusion
Victor Osimhen’s future remains uncertain amidst ongoing transfer rumors. His agent has strongly denied any swap deal involving Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku, calling for respect for Osimhen’s achievements.
