But last season, the 26-year-old was sent out on a one-year loan to Galatasaray.

Amid interest from European teams, Flores has now criticized Osimhen over what he described as disrespect.

“Osimhen? He has to go to Saudi Arabia. I’m tired of talking about him. I get annoyed talking about a mediocre footballer. He only did well for one year,” Flores said.

“We’re talking about a character that bothers me. A man that leaves a city that made him what he is.

“Not even his mother knows him, and yet, he removed the Napoli shirts from his Instagram profile.

“If I was his agent, I’d take him to Saudi Arabia. I don’t think he knows this, but he’s not a champion.”

Chelsea thrashed Paris Saint-Germain 3–0 in the Club World Cup final on Sunday.

The Blues were considered underdogs ahead of the game, in which they came up against the Ligue 1 and Champions League winners.

However, it was the Premier League club who flew out of the blocks in the first half, scoring the three goals that effectively decided the match.

Cole Palmer curled in a pair of identical goals from the right side of the box, putting Chelsea firmly in control at the MetLife Stadium.

Palmer then provided a slide-rule pass for João Pedro to make it 3–0, his third goal of the tournament since joining Chelsea.

There were no goals in the second half, as Enzo Maresca’s men held on to win the Club World Cup, in addition to the UEFA Conference League they clinched last month.

For PSG, they will not be winning an unprecedented sextuple, but they will have a chance to claim the UEFA Super Cup next month against Tottenham.

Speaking on the development, Varandas said (via Fabrizio Romano): “If they don’t want to pay Viktor’s fair market value, we are very comfortable with that for the next three years.

“This strategy is also making it more complicated for the player [Gyokeres] to leave.

“Nobody is above the interests of the club. Whoever they are”.

Varandas added that Sporting is calm as everything will be resolved before the summer transfer window will close.

He, however, suggested that the club will be imposed a huge fine on Gyokeres for not showing up for pre- season and the player will be asked to offer an apology.
