Osimhen’s knotty transfer
performances playing for Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets and winning the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2015. He was voted the second best player in that year’s cadet competition, having scored the most goals wearing the country’s green-white-green jersey. He emerged the highest goal scorer of the tournament with 10 goals, beating the competition’s existing nine goals set by Frenchman Florent Sinama Pongolle.
Osimhen became the soul of his French side, thus attracting the attention of Nigeria’s Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr. Rohr’s decision to drop another former Golden Eaglets star Kelechi Iheanahcho wasn’t a popular one, with the manager’s critics arguing that he ought to have looked at the Leicester City FC of England’s pedigree in the game, although they agreed that Iheanacho had lost form.
The way things are going, one won’t be surprised if the matter is taken to FIFA for adjudication, with as many as three agents and two big clubs embroiled in who gets what from the contractual agreement. One just hopes it doesn’t degenerate to this despicable level because it could lead to the player being sanctioned or, in some cases, punished with a ban, especially with the Qatar 2022 World Cup just two years away. The first allegation levelled at Osimhen is that of greed.
Pity. What was he expecting? The clubs own the player. In any transfer, negotiations start with interactions between the clubs involved. Whatever transpired surely would have arisen from a deal beneficial to all the parties. After all, it is where the player wants to play that determines the transfer. It could also mean that the clubs conspired against the agent because of his reservations in the international media over racists chants which have poured odium on the game in Italy. Poor agent.
