In an unexpected turn of events, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has refuted claims of an agreement between Victor Osimhen and Liverpool. Last week, reports emerged suggesting that the Nigerian striker had reached personal terms with the Premier League champions. However, Romano has dismissed these claims, stating that no such agreement exists.
Romano has shed light on the situation during a recent YouTube video, where he revealed, “Chelsea has expressed interest in securing the services of Victor Osimhen. Meanwhile, certain Italian media outlets have been circulating news of Osimhen already finalizing contract negotiations with Liverpool.”
Nevertheless, Romano swiftly dispelled these rumours, stating, “Based on my sources, I can confirm that Victor Osimhen has yet to commit to any club. This applies not only to Liverpool but also to Napoli. The talented striker has not made any decisions regarding a contract extension.”
Currently, Osimhen finds himself in limbo following a recent altercation with Serie A champions Napoli. The 24-year-old was left disgruntled after the club posted two TikTok videos mocking his penalty miss against Bologna. This incident further fueled the uncertainty surrounding his future.
In addition, Napoli is miffed after Osimhen returned from international duty nursing an injury. This setback has exacerbated the tensions between the player and the club, further raising questions about his future destination.
Given the circumstances, it remains to be seen how Osimhen’s future will unfold. Will Liverpool eventually pursue the talented forward, or will Chelsea swoop in with their own offer? Only time will tell as Osimhen takes his time to carefully consider his options.
While reports of an impending agreement with Liverpool have been debunked, the saga surrounding Osimhen continues to capture the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide. Stay tuned for further updates on this intriguing transfer story.
