Victor Osimhen has responded angrily to teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent who claimed the Nigerian striker would leave Napoli at the end of this season.

While speaking to 1TV of Georgia on Tuesday, Mamuka Jugeli said although Osimhen signed a new contract with Napoli, he believes the 25-year-old will move to Saudi Arabia when the season ends.

Osimhen is currently on international duty with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations. He has now angrily taken to social media to express his disappointment at Jugeli’s comments.

“Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace. I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning,” Osimhen posted on Instagram.

“Keep my name out of your mouth!!!,” Osimhen added.

This is a really bad time for Napoli to be engrossed in this kind of mess. Osimhen has also endured a rather messy past few months in terms of attacks on his personality in Italy.

Presently, Napoli are seriously struggling to maintain a defence of their title. The team sits ninth on the Serie A table and have failed to win any of their last three games.
