A Chelsea veteran has accused Roberto Calenda, Victor Osimhen's agent, of preventing the striker from joining a prominent European team during the summer transfer window.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan last summer after a failed transfer move away from Napoli to a top European team.
Osimhen was rumoured to be interested in French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, but there was no firm information.
In the last hours of the summer transfer window in the top five European leagues, Chelsea of the Premier League and Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia made intense courtships of the Nigerian international, but no deal was reached.
