Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen has slammed his SSC Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli.
This comes after Jugeli claimed that the reigning CAF African Footballer of the Year is set to leave the Italian champions for a Saudi Arabian club ‘this summer.’
The statement seems to have angered Osimhen who is currently in Nigeria’s camp ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals to be staged in Ivory Coast.
Considered one of the best strikers in the world, Osimhen signed a new contract at Napoli in December, extending his stay until 2026 with a release clause worth around $144 million.
The 25-year-old has been linked with many top European clubs and Saudi Arabian giants, but at the moment he is focused on the AFCON finals.
