Romano: Osimhen’s transfer drama has been crazy

International transfer expert and journalist, Fabrizio Romano says one of his very dependable sources has described Victor Osimhen’s transfer situation as crazy.

Osimhen wanted to join PSG and even agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 side, but the club refused to pay the player’s 130m release clause Napoli demanded must be paid.

Chelsea and Arsenal came into the picture, but the Nigerian’s wage demands sent the Gunners back to north London with Chelsea trying to negotiate with the Nigerian.

Osimhen did not want a move to Saudi Arabia, but Al Ahli came with an irresistible offer which forced the Nigerian to make a U-turn.

Now, the real drama began on the final day of transfer in Europe and Romano has now shared what his strong source has said about Osimhen.

‘Today I got a call from one of my sources, from one of my best sources. A really important person in football. He said to me ‘in 25 years in football, I never saw a situation like this one with Osimhen. Not even when players were joining Barcelona or other big clubs,’ Romano said.

‘He told me in this case it is super crazy. It is completely crazy. Trust me, people involved in the story don’t know where Victor Osimhen will end up, they don’t know.

‘My feeling is there is a very good chance to see Victor Osimhen staying at Napoli, out of the squad. It’s shocking to me; I hope it doesn’t happen.’
