‘Sack your agent’ — Fans advise Osimhen after deadline day debacle

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen was on the brink of a high-profile transfer to either Chelsea or Al Ahli, but has now found himself at the center of a storm after both moves collapsed on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Following the dramatic turn of events, fans have taken to social media to urge Osimhen to sack his agent, who was responsible for handling the negotiations.

Throughout the summer transfer window, it was a given that Osimhen would leave Napoli, with Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Chelsea and Al Ahli all showing interest in the Nigeria international.

However, after PSG and Arsenal dropped out of contention, Osimhen appeared destined for either Chelsea or Al Ahli and was reportedly locked in negotiations with both teams, hoping to seal a deadline-day move.

Unfortunately, as the hours counted down on deadline day, it became increasingly clear that Osimhen would remain stuck at Napoli after Al Ahli pulled out of negotiations, while Chelsea sent in an offer the Nigerian could not agree to.

Italian outlet Corriere della Sera, through CN24, reported that Osimhen is "furious" about the failed transfers and he is also reportedly displeased with his agent, Roberto Calenda, whose handling of the negotiations has come under intense scrutiny.

After the chaotic end to the transfer window, during which Napoli failed to secure a deal for Osimhen, many fans have voiced their frustration with the situation.

This double-edged frustration has led fans to call for Osimhen to part ways with Calenda, urging the striker to seek better representation to avoid such embarrassing situations in the future.

Beyond calls to sack his agent, fans have also advised Osimhen to reevaluate his inner circle. Social media is abuzz with suggestions that the striker should consider changing his circle of friends and hiring a professional PR firm to manage his public image and avoid the controversies that have plagued his career.

It remains to be seen whether he will heed the advice circulating on social media with his future at Napoli still uncertain and his relationships with key figures in his career under strain.
