Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has expressed solidarity for his teammate, Victor Osimhen, after his failed deadline move to either Chelsea or Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia.

Only at 23:00 on Friday, the European summer transfer window closed, and both tauted Osimhen’s transfer deals with Chelsea and the Ssudi football club, could not sail through.

However, a Chelsea delegation left Napoli FC after failing to reach an agreement with Osimhen, according to Italian football transfer analyst, Fabrizio Romano.

The striker was reportedly offered a contract by Chelsea worth €155,000 per week, which is less than what he is now paid at Napoli, but he refused to accept the wage decrease.

Due to the transfer drama that transpired on deadline day, Osimhen has been left off of Napoli’s match-day squad roster as a result of his failed move to either Chelsea or Al Ahli.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku, the new Napoli signing, is now sporting the number 9 shirt, which is worn by Osimhen.

However, Nwabali, while reacting to the uncertainty that Osimhen is faced with at the moment, in a post on his X page offered support to Osimhen over his failure to secure a move away from Napoli.

According to him, “All great Legends and all Hall Of Fame fighters have their storylines. Good, bad, and worst kinds of views from people who have no idea what the real story is and what it takes. I would define a myth as a story that has survived. VO9.”
