Osimhen Fires Agent Amid Transfer Dispute And Negotiates Galatasaray Loan
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly parted ways with his agent, Roberto Calenda, amidst ongoing transfer drama, as reported by *Il Mattino* (via *TMW*).
Osimhen is said to be frustrated with Calenda’s handling of recent negotiations, particularly his attempts to secure a permanent transfer away from the Serie A champions.
Sources suggest the Nigerian forward was displeased with how things were managed, prompting his decision to sack the agent.
In a surprising move, Osimhen reportedly took matters into his own hands during negotiations for a potential loan deal to Turkish club Galatasaray.
It is believed that the player worked independently, without an agent, to negotiate the terms of the loan.
Despite this, the 24-year-old was previously linked with a transfer on deadline day, with clubs like Al Ahli and Chelsea expressing interest in signing him.
However, none of the deals materialised, leading to heavy criticism of Calenda on social media for his failure to secure the move.
In the aftermath of the failed deals, Osimhen is understood to have enlisted the help of Turkish intermediary George Gardi to facilitate his loan move to Galatasaray.
The loan arrangement is reported to last until the end of the current season, with a January break clause that would allow the forward to transfer to a top European club should offers be made during the winter transfer window.
Osimhen’s decision to change representation during such a pivotal moment in his career signals his dissatisfaction with the handling of his transfer saga, and it remains to be seen what his future holds at Napoli or elsewhere.
Footballer Harry Kane speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares his intention to win the award in 2026.
The Ballon d’Or award is an award given to the best footballer in the world based on their performance during the year.
It has already been rumoured that the players likely to win the award include Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Rodri.
Kane shared, “So I think that is what makes football special, all those debates, and the Ballon d’Or is definitely one of them. I’m happy that I am in contention, so we will have to wait and see.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken about the club’s signing of Enzo Fernández from Chelsea and why he is excited about the move.
Fernández completed his move to Manchester City from Chelsea on deadline day, with the midfielder joining the club for a British record-equalling £125 million.
Maresca said “Enzo Fernández… we’ve signed a winner. Enzo has a winning mentality, he knows how to win – World Cup, Club World Cup. And the main thing is that he’s a winner.”
“I can promise you in the last four or five days, four or five players were asking if he’s coming or not, because they wanted him with us!”
PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.
He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”
The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.
