Victor Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda has denied reports that he and the Nigerian forward have parted company.

Sources in Naples including Orazio Accomando had claimed Calenda and Osimhen had separated over his contract situation with Napoli.

Reacting to the reports Calenda said that, “I was ‘concretely thinking’ of replying to this person, but then I read that he has been writing fake news about Osimhen for months. Once upon a time there was news.”

Osimhen has less than two-year left on his deal, with the Partenopei not making rapid progress over a new contract.

It was claimed that Osimhen’s camp wanted to an increase in wages and released clause of less than €150m inserted in the new contract, which are concerns for the club.

The striker has just six goals for Napoli this season, and had a high profile fall out with the club’s hierarchy and coach this season.
