Social media users have reacted to the viral reports that Victor Osimhen has sacked his agent Roberto Calenda.

The comments by users applaud the Super Eagles striker for the move.

Calenda was dismissed after Osimhen's failed move to Chelsea and Al-Ahli on deadline day.

Elite European clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain have all reportedly been linked with a move for the Nigerian international this summer, but none of these suitors were able to secure his signature.

The Super Eagles striker reportedly negotiated his own move to Galatasaray, agreeing to join the Turkish Super Lig side on a season-long loan from Napoli.

According to reports, Osimhen hired Turkish agent George Gardi, who served as an intermediary to facilitate the move.

Despite signing a season-long loan deal, the insertion of a break clause will allow the player to leave the club in January if a suitable offer arrives.
