German automaker Mercedes-Benz has reportedly filed a complaint with the Italian Carabinieri against Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen over an alleged failure to complete payments for a leased vehicle. According to Italian outlet Napolista, Osimhen neither completed the purchase nor returned the car, leading to an alleged debt of €90,000 (about ₦142 million). The loan originated in 2023. Osimhen has yet to respond.
Key Points:
- Osimhen earns over €20 million annually at Galatasaray.
- He recently funded Nigerian supporters' trip to Istanbul for a derby.
- The disputed vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz, likely seen in his garage collection.
- The amount is relatively small compared to his earnings.
- Observers expect a swift resolution to avoid reputational damage.
Neither Osimhen nor his representatives have issued an official response.
