There have been numerous discussions recently regarding a potential swap deal between Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.
However, these rumours have been firmly denied by the Nigerian striker’s agent.
Roberto Calenda, Osimhen’s agent, took to Twitter to address the swirling speculation.
In his tweet, Calenda stated: “There is no truth to the rumours of a swap deal between Osimhen and Lukaku.”
He further added that the idea of Osimhen leaving Napoli had faced significant hurdles, primarily due to the release clause in the player’s contract.
Napoli fans and the wider football community have been captivated by these transfer rumours, but Calenda’s clear dismissal aims to dispel any lingering doubts.
The future of both players remains uncertain, but as of now, it appears that Osimhen will not be heading to Stamford Bridge.
