Victor Osimhen agent demands “respect” for Nigerian amid links to Chelsea
However, the forward’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has demanded his client, as well as Napoli, be shown “respect” in the ongoing saga which will see the striker continue in Europe.

“[Victor] 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,” he wrote on X.

Osimhen remains heavily linked with a move to Chelsea.

“As I said, it is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. Victor was elected African footballer of the year, eighth at the Ballon d’Or, he still has so much to do in Europe. There is need respect and balance.”
