“Keep my name out of your mouth” – Osimhen lashes out at Napoli teammate Kvaratskhelia’s agent over Saudi transfer allegations

Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia formed a formidable duo in attack for Napoli last term, with the pair accounting for over 70% of Napoli’s league goals.

Super Eagles and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has lashed out at Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent after the agent aired untrue news about the striker, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osimhen, 25, enjoyed a stellar 2023 with Napoli, winning the Serie A title for the club, alongside carting away the golden boot, alongside several individual awards in a record-breaking year.

He also formed a great partnership with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia up-front as they pierced the defenses of several clubs in Italy and Europe at large.

Osimhen’s performances drew the attention of several clubs, including the big boys in Europe, and the big spenders outside of Europe, but the Super Eagles forward opted to put pen to paper and stay in Naples.

His new contract includes a release clause in the range of a hundred and thirty million euros, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, claimed Osimhen will be heading to Saudi Arabia in the summer to play football for more money.

Osimhen, currently on international duty with the Super Eagles as they travel to Ivory Coast to put on a stellar show at the AFCON tournament, didn’t hold back in his response to Jugeli.

The forward took to his instagram story to air his grievances and lash out at Makuma Jugeli.

“Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace. I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumb f**k! KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH,” the post read.

 

Despite spending seven weeks out with injuries this season, Osimhen has been able to score seven league goals, and create another goal.
