Super Eagles striker and 2023 CAF Footballer of the Year, Victor Osimhen, lost his cool on his Napoli teammate’s agent Mamuka Jugeli, LCSoccerHub Reports.
Mamuka Jugeli, who is the agent of Georgian and Napoli attacking sensation Khivcha Kvaratskhelia, had revealed in a viral social media post that Victor Osimhen will leave Napoli at the end of the season.
Jugeli said the Nigerian striker is eyeing a move away from Serie A to Saudi Arabia despite recently signing a new contract with Napoli with an improved offer.
He wrote;
“Osimhen signed a new contract but do you think he will spend his entire career at Napoli. I can already tell you he will go to Saudi Arabia.”
Osimhen apparently did not take Manuka Jugeli’s statement lightly. Obviously furious with the unsolicited and unconfirmed transfer leak, Osimhen took to his social media handle to blast Jugeli for the report.
He wrote;
“Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace”.
“I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning”.
“Dumb f*ck! KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!”.
