Victor Osimhen’s agent; Roberto Calenda, silent about move to Saudi Arabia
Roberto Calenda, the agent of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has not commented on reports of Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli move from Napoli for the player.
There are ongoing talks for Osimhen’s move to the Saudi pro-league after an agreement between Napoli and Al Ahli for a package of over €65 million.
A report stated that the deal is almost done, pending small details but there has been no agreement with Osimhen so far as the Nigerian striker wants an important salary.
The report has been denied by Calenda in a statement on his X page where he noted that Osimhen has no interest in a move to the Middle East and they will reject this new approach while criticising Napoli’s handling of the situation.
According to him, “Victor is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. Victor still has so much to do IN EUROPE.
“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.
“Victor was elected African footballer of the year, 8th at the Ballon d’Or. There is a need for respect and balance”.
