<br>Victor Osimhen’s agent, [Roberto](http://jacqueshigelin.com/index.php?title=User:LonnaMandalis6) Calenda, has faced criticism over the handling of the striker’s recent transfer to Galatasaray. Player agent Antonio [Caliendo expressed](https://keeperverse.com/index.php/User:CandaceMahn9) his disappointment in an interview with Kiss Kiss Napoli Radio, [stating](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-culture/) that Osimhen’s transfer should have been managed better, with initial expectations linking the player to major clubs like PSG or [Chelsea](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/crystal-palace-target-emanuel-emegha-amid-chelsea-interest/).
<br>
<br>I feel sorry for Osimhen, Caliendo said, reflecting on how the management of the transfer process had failed to live up to the expectations surrounding the talented forward.

<br>The transfer [saga surrounding](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/stadiums-and-facilities/10-reasons-caf-approved-remo-stars-stadium-ikenne-for-champions-league/) Victor Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray has been marked by widespread disappointment, particularly given the lofty expectations set by his performances at Napoli. It’s clear that mismanagement played a significant role in the outcome, leaving fans and experts alike questioning what went wrong.

<br>Caliendo, who had predicted [Osimhen](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/al-ahli-submit-over-n115b-bid-for-chelsea-target-osimhen/) could be sold for up to €200 million after first seeing him play for Napoli, noted that the player’s transfer process was mishandled. He compared the situation to treating Osimhen as if he were a discarded shoe, instead of positioning him as a key player in the global market. [Caliendo](https://azbongda.com/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:CCMDominick) also pointed out that Napoli’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, had trusted Calenda to secure a high-profile transfer for the striker, but the final move to Galatasaray left many disappointed.

<br>We believe that Osimhen’s talent deserved a move, especially with clubs like PSG and Chelsea reportedly interested. However, his transfer to Galatasaray, while not without merit, represents a missed opportunity for him to solidify his status among Europe’s elite. Missteps in transfer negotiations can have long-term effects on a player’s career trajectory, and it’s important that future decisions regarding Osimhen are handled with greater care and foresight.
