Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been at the center of a transfer storm, with top European clubs like PSG and Chelsea vying for his signature. However, the deal has been delayed, leaving fans and pundits wondering about the reasons behind the hold-up.
There have been speculations that Osimhen’s inability to sign a new deal with top clubs may be due to his perceived arrogance towards his Super Eagles coaches after his outburst with erstwhile coach Finidi George. The player’s attitude has raised eyebrows, with some questioning his commitment to the national team.
Osimhen’s attitude towards the Super Eagles coaches has been a concern and he needs to show more respect and commitment to the national team if he wants to succeed at the highest level.
Osimhen’s current club, Napoli, has been negotiating with Chelsea, but the talks have stalled. According to Sky Sports, Chelsea is unwilling to meet Napoli’s asking price, which is reportedly around €100 million.
“Chelsea is interested in Osimhen, but they are not willing to pay the price Napoli is asking for,” ESPN reported. Napoli wants a premium price for their star player, and Chelsea has yet to finalize the demand.
Osimhen’s future at Napoli looks uncertain, with the player reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League. However, Napoli is reluctant to just let go of their prized asset, who has been instrumental in the team’s success.
“Osimhen is a key player for us, and we want to keep him,” Napoli’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, told Sky Sports. “We are negotiating with Chelsea, but we will only sell if the price is right.”
The delay in the transfer talks has left Osimhen’s fans worried about his future. The player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has reassured fans that Osimhen will make the right decision for his career.
“Victor is a top player, and he deserves to play for a top club,” Calenda told Tuttosport. “We are negotiating with Chelsea, and we will see what happens. Victor’s future is bright, and he will make the right decision for his career.”
As the transfer saga continues, Osimhen’s attitude towards his Super Eagles coaches has come under scrutiny. Some speculations suggest that the player’s perceived arrogance may have contributed to the delay in the transfer talks.
