Napoli’s struggling title defence took another turn for the worse yesterday as star striker, Victor Osimhen, took to social media to berate the agent of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, reports espn.com.
Osimhen’s comments came after Mamuka Jugeli, the agent in question, told a media outlet in Georgia that the Nigerian International is likely to move to Saudi Arabia “next summer” despite having recently signed a contract extension, whereas his client would never move to the Gulf state’s lucrative league solely for the purpose of earning more money.
“Kvicha would not accept a similar transfer, not even for a billion,” Jugeli said. “For example, he would prefer to play for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or maybe Manchester City. Kvaratskhelia has different objectives and preferences.”
Replying the agent, Osimhen wrote in an Instagram story, “Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace.
“I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumbf—-! Keep my name out of your mouth!!!”Osimhen is currently with the Super Eagles as they prepare to open their AFCON campaign against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.
He has previously said he would prefer to play in Major League Soccer over the Saudi Pro League if offered “the same conditions,” though described the development of the SPL as “something amazing.”
Osimhen, recently crowned African Player of the Year for his 26 goals in the team’s title winning 2022-23 campaign, signed a contract extension with Napoli in December, which runs through 2026.
