Victor Osimhen’s agent vehemently denies Chelsea transfer swap rumors amid Summer Transfer Window.

Recent reports suggested that Chelsea was engaged in ongoing negotiations with Napoli to potentially secure the services of striker Victor Osimhen in a swap deal that would send Romelu Lukaku to Italy. This proposed move would not only see Lukaku join the Serie A side on a permanent basis but also allow Osimhen to initially arrive at Stamford Bridge on a loan deal with a future purchase option. However, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has dismissed these claims, emphasizing that such speculation is unfounded and not based on reality.

Calenda’s remarks serve to clarify the situation surrounding the talented Nigerian international, who has been the subject of intense interest from various clubs this summer.

“I’ve read about these ‘fantasy exchanges’ involving Victor, as if he were merely a package to be delivered quickly,” Calenda expressed through renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano. “This player is the top scorer who played a crucial role in Napoli’s historic third Scudetto victory. We demand respect and urge everyone to stop spreading fake news!”

Osimhen emerged as a standout player in the 2022/23 season, netting an impressive 25 Serie A goals that propelled Napoli to their championship triumph. However, his performance dipped the following season, where he managed to score 15 goals while the club finished in 10th place in the league. The 25-year-old forward continues to attract attention, with rumors linking him to prestigious clubs such as Arsenal and PSG.
