Transfer: Osimhen sacks agent for failing to get exit from Napoli

Striker Victor Osimhen has sacked his agent Roberto Calenda amid his transfer saga from Napoli, according to Il Mattino (via TMW).

Osimhen is said to be angry by Calenda’s alleged incompetence, as he tried to engineer a permanent move away from the Serie A side.

It is believed that the Nigeria international even negotiated his loan move to Galatasaray without an agent.

Osimhen was expected to leave Napoli on deadline day, with Al Ahli and Chelsea trying to complete deals but nothing happened.

Calenda was heavily criticised on social media for messing up the deals.

It is understood that Osimhen employed the help of Turkish intermediary George Gardi, to negotiate with Galatasaray.

The deal is a straight loan until the end of the season, with a break clause in January in the event of top European clubs making a move.
