Posted by Roberto Calenda, the agent for Victor Osimhen, has refuted rumors that his client won’t renew his contract with Serie A champions Napoli.
Following his outstanding performances for Napoli last season, Osimhen is a man in high demand.
The 24-year-old helped Napoli end their 33-year drought for a league championship by scoring 26 goals in 32 games.
In light of interest from some of the top teams in Europe, Napoli is eager to lock him down to a new contract.
On Monday, Calenda criticized a story from the Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino on Twitter, writing: “I read in Il Mattino that ‘Calenda has no intention of renewing in the summer and that he wants to examine all avenues in the market first’. False news.
Two years are left on Osimhen’s deal with Napoli.
It will take a sizable offer for the Partenopei to change their minds because they are not eager to sell the Nigerian.
