Mamuka Jegeli told Georgian TV that the forward will complete a transfer to Saudi Arabia in the summer despite signing a new contract with Napoli.
Osimhen penned a new two-and-a-half year deal with the Italian champions in December to keep him at the club until 2026.
Responding to Jegeli’s comments on social media, the 25-year-old wrote: “Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace.
“I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumb f***! KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!”
Fans were quick to compare Osimhen’s outburst to Will Smith’s infamous confrontation with Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022.
The actor slapped Rock on stage before telling him to “keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth” after a comment about Jada Pinkett Smith.
One commented: “Osimhen went full Will smith!!!”
Another added: “Good for Osimhen, that was so disrespectful from Kvara’s agent. Will Smith mode activated.”

Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda also released a statement in response to the comments.
He wrote: “Everyone must look into their own home and have respect for the work of others. It is not correct to talk about the future of other players.
“This creates misunderstandings and problems as well as unfortunate predictions.
“The alleged words of agent Mamuka Jugeli are bad, superficial and unacceptable.
“These words create problems for my player Victor Osimhen with Napoli fans without any reason or reality.
“We have just signed a contract renewal and Victor’s only wish, in addition to the Africa Cup of Nations, is to help Napoli. Everything else is rubbish.”
Osimhen, who is currently on international duty with Nigeria, has scored 67 goals in 119 appearances for Napoli.
His goals helped the club claim their first Scudetto since 1990 last season as he claimed the Serie A golden boot.
