Victor Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, has hit out at reports that he could join Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli.
The Italian said of his client, who is attracting interest from Chelsea, in a social media post today: "Osimhen is a Napoli player, with a contract recently renewed with mutual satisfaction.
"He made history and when there were major offers (also this year) we always accepted the club's decisions.
"As I said, it is not a package to be shipped far away to make room for new prophets. Victor was elected African footballer of the year, eighth at the Ballon d'Or, he still has so much to do in Europe.
"There is need respect and balance."
Chelsea are keen to sign the Nigeria international striker on either a loan or swap deal and have discussed the sale of Romelu Lukaku in the other direction to Napoli.
