“Osimhen Is Not a Champion and Only Had One Good Season” — Flores says
Former Italy U-21 striker, Antonio Floro Flores, has taken a swipe at Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen, calling him an average player. Speaking with Kiss Kiss Napoli, Flores didn’t hold back, saying Osimhen should take his football career to Saudi Arabia and stop the noise.
Osimhen, who joined Napoli in 2020, helped the club win the Serie A title after a 33-year wait. However, he was loaned to Galatasaray last season, sparking mixed reactions about his future. Despite interest from top European clubs, Flores believes Osimhen has done little to earn the hype.
“Osimhen? He should go to Saudi Arabia. I’m honestly tired of hearing his name,” Flores said. “I get irritated when people talk about him like he’s some big star. He had only one good season. This is someone who turned his back on the city that made him famous. Even his own mother didn’t know him before Napoli.
“He even removed Napoli from his Instagram like he’s done something special. If I was his agent, I would’ve sent him to Saudi Arabia already. He’s not a champion, and I doubt he even realises it.”

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.
