‘Dumb f***’ – Victor Osimhen blasts team-mate Kvaratskhelia’s agent for leaking fake transfer
Victor Osimhen issued a strong rebuke to Mamuka Jugeli, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, on Wednesday morning.
Osimhen called him a ‘dumb f***’ and a ‘piece of filth’ after Jugeli predicted that Osimhen would leave Napoli for Saudi Arabia next summer.
Osimhen had recently signed a new contract with Napoli, extending his stay until 2026, with a significant increase in salary to £8.6m per season. He had also turned down a £115m offer from Saudi side Al-Hilal in the summer.
Jugeli’s comments seemed to insinuate that Osimhen’s motivation for the move would be financial, which prompted Osimhen’s strong response on Instagram.
He wrote:
“Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace.
“I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning.
“Dumb f**k! Keep my name out of your mouth,’ he concluded, channelling his inner Will Smith.
Victor Osimhen had a stellar season last year, scoring 31 goals in all competitions and playing a crucial role in Napoli’s title win, which was their first in 33 years. His outstanding performances made him one of the most sought-after players in world football.
Osimhen’s achievements were recognized with the African Footballer of the Year award, and he also secured eighth place in the Ballon d’Or vote for 2023.
However, Mamuka Jugeli’s comments, as reported by La Gazzetta Dello Sport, seemed to compare Osimhen and his client in a judgmental manner, suggesting that Osimhen is primarily motivated by money. These remarks from Jugeli have sparked a strong response from Osimhen.
He said:
“Victor Osimhen has signed a new contract, but do you really believe he’ll play for Napoli for his entire career?
“I’ll tell you in advance, he (Osimhen) will go to Saudi Arabia next summer. Napoli raised his salary but Kvicha wouldn’t accept such a transfer even for a billion.
“For example, Kvicha would prefer to play for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or maybe Manchester City; Kvaratskhelia has different goals and preferences.
“He wants to be successful, and he is already having it. He is among the top 3 players in the world.”
Manchester United has reportedly cancelled their end-of-season awards meal, originally scheduled for May 20, to avoid distracting players ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
This tradition, dating back more than a decade, typically includes prizes for men’s, women’s, and academy team players, such as the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year Award.
This decision, consulted with Erik ten Hag and management, marks the second time in three years that the ceremony has been called off.
Despite the cancellation of the gathering, awards will still be voted for and handed out among the players.
The cancellation comes amid a challenging season for United’s men’s team, currently sitting eighth in the Premier League and on course for their worst finish in the club’s Premier League history.
In contrast, the women’s team recently celebrated success by lifting the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Tottenham.
Manchester United faced another setback on Sunday as rain poured through Old Trafford’s leaky roof after a home defeat to Arsenal.
Despite improvements from their previous match, Erik ten Hag’s side couldn’t find the net, succumbing to a 1-0 loss.
The sudden thunderstorms exposed issues with the roof, leading to a torrent of water cascading onto the pitch.
Fans had to seek cover, highlighting the sorry state of the iconic stadium.
Many supporters expressed frustration on social media, criticizing the Glazers for neglecting Old Trafford’s upkeep and maintenance.
Some fans called for immediate action to fix the roof and address other stadium issues, pointing out that the neglect has left the club trailing behind others.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, following his purchase of the club, planned significant upgrades, including addressing the roof and other infrastructure problems.
The decline of Old Trafford, once a premier stadium, has become symbolic of the Glazers’ neglect over the past 18 years.
As rivals enjoy modern facilities, Manchester United’s stadium woes have become a target for mockery, with even opposing fans singing about its deterioration.
