Victor Osimhen, a prominent target for Chelsea, has been the subject of significant attention from Antonio Caliendo, a veteran football agent often recognized as the 'father of agents'.
Caliendo, known for his extensive experience in the football world, has assessed Osimhen’s value at an eye-watering 200 million euros, which equates to approximately a third of a trillion naira.
Caliendo has voiced strong criticisms regarding the management of Osimhen's transfer, particularly focusing on the approach taken by Calenda. He argues that Calenda's strategy seems to be focused on short-term gains rather than fostering long-term value. Caliendo elaborated, stating, "The relationship between agent and client has also changed, the intermediary takes care of the deal, not the player." This observation highlights a shift in the dynamics of football negotiations, where the agent now predominantly handles the transactional aspects rather than prioritizing the player's personal needs.
Caliendo further emphasized his viewpoint by contrasting this modern approach with his own philosophy. He stated, "He lives day by day, for me a contract means a long-term investment." This suggests that, in his perspective, a contract should be viewed as a strategic asset that benefits both the player and the team over an extended period, rather than a mere short-term transaction.
