‘I don't care who you are’ - AFCON winner hits out at Osimhen after social media rant about Finidi
Victor Osimhen has come under fire from the AFCON winner, for his demeaning comments made about coach Finidi George on social media.
Brown Ideye narrates transfer tale to send blunt message to Victor Osimhen
The 2013 AFCON winner took to social media to narrate his own unexpected transfer to China’s Tianjin TEDA.
Ideye revealed that he had no initial plans to move to the Chinese Super League but was swayed by an irresistible financial offer.
He recounted how, upon seeing the lucrative numbers presented by his agent, his wife promptly packed his bags for the imminent departure.
He wrote on X(formerly known as Twitter):
“I had no plans to go to China, Olympiacos received an offer from TEDA which they can't refuse, my agent negotiated with TEDA about my salary and bonuses. When i saw the long numbers and told my wife na she pack my luggage for me to leave the next day LOL...”
Ideye’s light-hearted recount of this moment highlights the financial allure that can influence player decisions, an insight he hopes will resonate with Osimhen.
This advice comes as Osimhen faces a choice between a high-profile move to Chelsea or lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League.
Ideye’s recent post comes days after he expressed disappointment at Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, for potentially ruling out a Chelsea move and criticized the lack of respect he believes Osimhen receives from European clubs.
