Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has decided to part ways with his agent, Roberto Calenda, after a frustrating transfer saga. According to reports from Il Mattino (via TMW), Osimhen was unhappy with Calenda’s inability to secure a permanent move away from the Serie A club.
Osimhen, a key player for Napoli and the Nigeria national team, was hoping for a transfer on deadline day, with serious interest from Al Ahli and Chelsea. However, despite these clubs’ efforts, no deals were finalized, leaving Osimhen disappointed.
Feeling that his agent had not handled the situation well, Osimhen took matters into his own hands. He reportedly negotiated a loan move to Galatasaray by himself, showing his determination to find a new club. This move to Galatasaray is a straightforward loan until the end of the season. There is also a break clause in the contract, allowing Osimhen to leave in January if a top European club comes forward with an offer.
On social media, Calenda faced heavy criticism for how he handled the potential deals. In response to the situation, Osimhen enlisted the help of Turkish intermediary George Gardi to finalize his loan move to Galatasaray.
This decision to change agents reflects Osimhen’s strong desire to take control of his career and find opportunities that align with his ambitions.
