The rumor didn’t last long. In the last few hours, Italy got excited about an XXL offer from the Saudi club Al-Ahli for Victor Osimhen. To snatch the Nigerian striker from Napoli, an amount of €70 million was reportedly offered. But this offer did not come to fruition. After the transalpine media, it was the turn of the player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, to break his silence on his social networks to announce that his protégé’s future still lies in Europe.
“Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed to our mutual satisfaction. He has made history for the Azzurri and, when there have been important offers (including this year), we have always accepted the club’s decisions. As I have said before, this is not a package to be sent far away to make room for new prophets. Victor was voted African player of the year, eighth in the Ballon d’Or, he still has a lot to do in Europe. We need respect.” It is said.
