Victor Osimhen took the matter into his own hands in squashing some of the rumors surrounding his name. The Napoli striker has come out on social media to push against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli.
Jugeli recently spoke to a Georgian media channel 1TV and talked about the future of Osimhen. He predicted that the Napoli striker would snub Chelsea and move to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2024. This prediction didn’t sit well with Osimhen who took it as a jab on his soccer ambition.
Osimhen took to Instagram to upload a story with his response. He wrote: “Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace. I am embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumbfuck! KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!”

These words from Osimhen send a strong message to Jugeli or anyone else to talk carefully about the future of the striker. The Nigerian international has been linked with Chelsea and Arsenal in the current season. He is only 25 years old and moving toward the prime of his career. A move to Saudi Arabia will show a complete lack of ambition, which is why the Nigerian moved quickly to squash any speculations.
Mamuka Jugeli slammed Victor Osimhen’s ambition with transfer speculation
Mamuka Jugeli comments on Osimhen were in bad taste as they sounded like they were made to increase the value of his client, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Jugeli not only made false speculation about the future of Osimhen but also questioned the striker’s commitment to Napoli.
Osimhen recently signed an extension with Napoli which keeps the striker with the club till the summer of 2026. Even after the contract extension, the Nigerian has been linked to a Premier League switch. Jugeli pointed to the fact that even after this extension, Osimhen wants to move to the Premier League.

Jugeli predicted Osimhen to move to Saudi Arabia and followed it with the statement that his client, Kvaratskhelia wouldn’t do the same as the winger aims to play for clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Manchester City. The whole interview was in bad taste and was likely to be pushed back by fans or Osimhen’s agent himself.
Victor Osimhen has made a slow start to this season as compared to 2022/23. He currently has eight goals and three assists in 18 games for Napoli as the Italian side looks to climb back into the top four places after a disastrous start to the season. They currently sit in 9th place, 20 points away from league leaders, Inter Milan. Napoli will need Osimhen in top form in the second half of the season to qualify for UCL in the next season.
