'He still has so much to do in Europe' - Victor Osimhen's agent sensationally shuts down proposed Saudi Arabia transfer in huge boost to Chelsea's pursuit of Napoli hitman

In the wake of news reports that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-set-miss-out-victor-osimhen-al-ahli-close-65m-transfer-napoli/blt20c4864e5bb57ccc" target="_blank">Osimhen is the subject of interest from Al-Ahli, with Napoli seemingly close to agreeing a fee with the Saudi Pro League club</a>, agent Roberto Calenda took to X, formerly Twitter, to offer the player's side of things. Calenda suggested Osimhen's ambition is to remain in Europe.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Calenda's comments don't refute <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-set-miss-out-victor-osimhen-al-ahli-close-65m-transfer-napoli/blt20c4864e5bb57ccc" target="_blank">Napoli negotiating a fee with Al-Ahli</a>, reported to be worth in excess of €65 million (£55m/$73m). But it was already known that Osimhen hadn't agreed to personal terms, with the agent appearing to now confirm that his client won't accept the proposal, regardless of what the clubs have said to each other.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<a href="https://x.com/RobertoCalenda/status/1828012293055033546" target="_blank">Calenda wrote</a>: "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. As I said, it is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. Victor was elected African footballer of the year, eighth at the Ballon d'Or, he still has so much to do in Europe. There is need respect and balance."

WHAT ROBERTO CALENDA SAID

It serves to keep the door open for Chelsea, who have been tracking Osimhen for the past couple of years. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-enzo-maresca-blues-target-new-striker-victor-osimhen-transfer-links/blt0c11213b6c99bb68#cs160bcda4479295ab" target="_blank">Enzo Maresca has confirmed the Blues would still like another striker</a>, despite 11 new arrivals already this summer, but they have just four days to do a deal before the transfer window closes until January.
