‘Napoli and Osimhen’s representatives made crucial errors that cost the striker a major move’, says Italian agent, Caliendo

Italian agent, Antonio Caliendo, has told Radio Goal both Napoli and Victor Osimhen’s representatives made crucial errors that cost the striker a major move.

The Nigerian was expected to leave Napoli for a bigger club in Europe’s top leagues but that never materialized and the Super Eagle had to settle for a move to Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig after he was left of the Napoli’s squad for the season.

‘If I have to be frank, the first time I saw him play in Napoli, I told my friend that he would have come to cost $200 million. Right now, thanks to the direction of those who took care of all his management, his transfer operation was disappointing, going into the market as if he were a discarded shoe.

‘Instead, he should have been the leading man of the world transfer market, but he was not managed in the right way. On the part of those who managed him, reassurances were made about his multi-million-dollar sale and De Laurentiis trusted them,’ he was quoted as saying by Area Napoli.

‘Calenda flopped, and it was in front of everyone’s eyes. There was talk of Chelsea, of PSG and in the end, he went to Galatasaray, so someone was wrong. I was very disappointed, I declared that Osimhen made me worried, but it made me worry more if it made him do that video,’ Caliendo said.
