Amuneke Supports Osimhen’s Potential Move to PSG
Emmanuel Amuneke, the former Super Eagles winger who played a pivotal role in Victor Osimhen’s early international career, has expressed strong support for Osimhen’s potential transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The Ligue 1 champions are currently negotiating a deal to bring the Nigerian forward on board this summer, with Osimhen’s contract including a release clause valued at €130 million.
Amuneke, who first introduced Osimhen to the international stage during the U-17 World Cup, believes that a move to PSG would significantly benefit the forward’s career.
He highlighted PSG’s stature as a major club competing in the UEFA Champions League, noting that such a transition would be a positive step for Osimhen’s professional growth.
Amuneke emphasized that this move represents an opportunity for Osimhen to further advance his career after making substantial contributions at Napoli.
He expressed confidence that Osimhen, being a prominent talent, is well aware of his career goals and the importance of playing at a top-level club like PSG.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
