Napoli and Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen has slammed Mamuka Jugeli, the agent of his club teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, over his statement about him.
Despite Osimhen recently signing a new contract with Napoli, rumored to include a release clause between €120–€130 million, Jugeli claimed that the 25-year-old striker would leave Napoli for Saudi Arabia in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In an interview with Georgian media 1Tv, Kvaratskhelia’s agent said that although Napoli increased Osimhen’s salary to facilitate a summer move, his player wouldn’t accept such an offer.
He said, “Osimhen has signed a new contract, but do you really believe he will play for Napoli for his entire career? I’ll tell you in advance, he will go to Saudi Arabia next summer. Napoli raised his salary, but Khvicha wouldn’t accept such a transfer even for a billion.”
Reacting to Jugeli’s statements, Victo Osimhen took to his Instagram story on Wednesday, referring to Kvaratskhelia’s agent as a “disgrace.”
He expressed his embarrassment at Jugeli’s reasoning and firmly stated, “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!”
Victor Osimhen had previously turned down an offer to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal FC earlier in the year, emphasizing the need to “make a decision that is good for my career.”
However, Dario Canovi, a veteran agent, predicted that Napoli will sell Victor Osimhen next summer, as the club is struggling to duplicate last season’s form.
