Victor Osimhen attacked Khvicha Kvaratskhelia‘s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, on Wednesday morning, calling him a “stupid f*** and a “piece of filth.”.
The Napoli forward slammed his teammate’s representative after he projected that Osimhen would leave Napoli for Saudi Arabia next summer.
Osimhen signed a new contract until 2026 in December, with his income reportedly more than doubling to £8.6 million each season, and turned down a £115 million offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal in the summer.
After Kvaratskhelia’s agent, Mamuka Jugeli, stated that the Napoli talisman would go to Saudi Arabia and implied that he was motivated by money, Osimhen responded 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, channeling his inner Will Smith.
The Nigerian International led Napoli to their first title in 33 years, scoring 31 goals in all competitions. He was named African Footballer of the Year and ranked eighth in the Ballon d’Or vote for 2023.
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, while comparing his client to Osimhen, Jugeli noted that, unlike Kvaratskhelia, who wants to be “successful,” Osimhen is driven more by money.
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 that 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.”
Despite a hamstring injury this season, he has scored eight goals in 18 games, which is a solid record but not as productive as his previous season.
Chelsea, Manchester United, and PSG were all interested in signing him in the summer.
