Transfer: He’s in pains – Ighalo blasts Nigerians over Osimhen’s failed Napoli exit
Ex-Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has dropped his two cents on the ongoing transfer drama between Victor Osimhen and his club, Napoli.
Osimhen has been entangled in a complex situation following his failed move to Chelsea football club of England and Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia.
The now out-of-favour Napoli striker was expected to leave Napoli this summer but a deal could not materialise until the close of the transfer window.
However, there remains a faint hope of a last-minute transfer to Saudi Arabia, as the transfer window in that region remains open until September 2.
Reacting to the development, Ighalo, in a post via X handle, lamented the criticisms surrounding the issue.
According to him, Osimhen was in pain when they spoke.
He wrote: “No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life, but seeing comments about this young man from his own country makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened.
“I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he’s been treated, this young man plays with heart and pain for his country, Hmmm it’s well, he will definitely be back stronger, we learn everyday in life.”
