STILL ON THE OSIMHEN FAILED TRANSFER

✍️ If you go to the market to buy a product and the price is too high for your budget, you go back. Unless the seller decides to sell at a discount and lose some money.

In Chelsea and Osimhen’s case, both the buyer and seller didn't want to lose ground. So, what happened was natural. Nobody is wrong or right. It's just choice we make in life. You can't blame Chelsea, Napoli or Osimhen. 

However, I feel Osimhen should've gone to Al Ahli when he noticed Chelsea won't move ground, or give the 2 clubs a time deadline to make their best bids before it's too late. I don't know his agent but he didn't paint himself beautifully in this story.

He should have had contingency plans just incase. Or fall back to a late dry loan to see out one season and revaluate (a loan can be done quicker). Then if no European club wants to meet his demand after the loan, just head to Saudi. Everyone has targets. It's not a must to play in Europe for a paycut. He has that choice to make.

But to watch every deal crumble before him without a backup plan is absolutely not acceptable. It's a poor agent work. Not considering a loan as out of jail card was just pride. No player is above a loan deal, which can be a consequence of many things.

Playing a year on loan is better than being frozen out of the squad. Your value is more likely to go up when you are active and will surely go down when you are inactive.

Finally, Victor is a reactive character and needs a more experienced agent to control and advice him better.

As one of the best strikers in the world, he surely deserve the best, the likes of Jorge Mendes.
