Roberto Calenda: Victor Osimhen’s Agent Subtly Mocks Napoli After Galatasaray Move

• Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, recently completed a transfer to Galatasaray from Italian Serie A side Napoli
• The switch, which is reported to be a dry loan with no obligation to purchase, comes in the aftermath of a lengthy summer transfer saga
• The marquee forward's agent, Roberto Calenda, has taken a swipe at Napoli following the conclusion of the striker's exit from the club

Victor Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, has subtly aimed a dig at Napoli following the striker's departure from the club.

The Nigerian forward, who recently completed a loan move to Galatasaray, was a central figure during the summer transfer window.

Osimhen, initially expected to leave Napoli, was linked with potential moves to Premier League side Chelsea and Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli. However, both transfers fell through due to reported financial demands from both Napoli and the player.
