Victor Osimhen’s Agent Denies Rumored Chelsea Loan Deal

Victor Osimhen‘s agent, Roberto Calenda, has firmly addressed the swirling rumors about a potential loan deal involving his client and Chelsea.

Speculations emerged that Chelsea and Napoli were negotiating a deal where Romelu Lukaku would move to Naples, and in return, Chelsea would secure Victor Osimhen on an initial loan with an option to buy next summer. This potential deal suggested Lukaku would reunite with Antonio Conte, his former coach at Inter Milan, now heading Napoli.

These rumors have been gaining traction, causing quite a buzz among football enthusiasts. However, Roberto Calenda has categorically dismissed these reports. In an official statement shared by renowned sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, Calenda labeled the rumored exchange as a fantasy.

Calenda’s statement was clear: “I read about ‘fantasy exchanges’ with Victor… as if he was a package to be delivered quickly. This package is the top scorer of the third Scudetto in the history of Napoli. Respect and stop fake news!”

This firm denial aims to put an end to the ongoing speculation and underscores the value and importance of Osimhen to Napoli. The Nigerian international, who played a crucial role in securing Napoli’s third Scudetto, is evidently not on the market for a quick loan move to Chelsea.

As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will remain on Osimhen and his future with Napoli, but for now, the message from his camp is clear: there is no Chelsea loan deal in the works.
