…Dumps Italian agent, negotiates Galatasaray deal himself
Super Eagles talisman, Victor Osimhen started and concluded his season-long loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray without his Italian FIFA Football Agent, Roberto Calenda.
SportingSun sourced on Il Mattino (via TMW), Osimhen stopped trusting people around him after the gaffe on transfer Deadline Day, and that is why the negotiation with Galatasaray was conducted by himself.
As of now, he has given up on the idea of returning to Nigeria as he told trust with many people there too, as intermediary George Gardi was the one who helped him get the move to the Turkish giants. But a lot of work was done by the player himself.
Gardi is close to Turkish clubs and has played a role in bringing Dries Mertens to Turkey. Osimhen, it is reported, had no option but to accept the destination, and the specific terms were discussed and confirmed much later.
Things do not seem promising between Osimhen and his agent Roberto Calenda and it was suggested after Deadline Day that he could consider parting ways with the agent.
