Victor Osimhen’s agent has issued a response to Mamuka Jugeli – agent of teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – after the Georgian suggested that Osimhen, who recently signed a contract extension with Napoli until 2026, would move to Saudi Arabia in the summer
“[Victor] Osimhen signed a new contract, but do you really think he will spend his entire career at Napoli?” Jugeli said to Georgian outlet 1TV, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I can already tell you he will go to Saudi Arabia next summer.
“Napoli have raised his salary, but Khvicha would not accept such a transfer even for €1bn. He’d rather play for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Manchester City. Kvaratskhelia has different targets and preferences.
“Kvaratskhelia wants to have success, and he is already achieving it. He is among the best three players in the world. All will happen at the right time, it’s still early. No team would reject the chance to sign him.”
Osimhen responded to Jugeli’s comment, describing the agent as a “piece of filth.”
“Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace,” Osimhen wrote on Instagram. “I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumb f***! Keep my name out of your mouth!”
Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda has now released an official statement on Kvaratskhelia’s agent quotes.
“Everyone must look into their own home and have respect for the work of others. It is not correct to talk about the future of other players.
“This creates misunderstandings and problems as well as unfortunate predictions. The alleged words of agent Mamuka Jugeli are bad, superficial and unacceptable.
“These words create problems for my player Victor Osimhen with Napoli fans without any reason or real of the reality.
“We have just signed a contract renewal and Victor’s only wish, in addition to the Africa Cup of Nations, is to help Napoli. Everything else is rubbish”.
