Mercedes-Benz Financial Services has filed a complaint with the police in Italy against Victor Osimhen.
It was reported that Osimhen leased a Mercedes GLE hybrid in March 2023 while he was in Napoli and he has not paid the instalments and so incurring a debt of about 90,000 euros.
He has also not returned the car despite the lease contract ending.
Yesterday, court bailiffs were in the home of Osimhen’s partner in Germany in a bid to recover the car in question.
However, CalcioNapoli24 has now reported this was a case of misunderstanding.
According to the publication’s investigations, the misunderstanding was caused between several contacts of the leasing company and the player’s former agent.
It was further gathered that the company contacted the former agent, who implied that Osimhen was no longer interested in the car and so the move to recover it.
Osimhen, on his on part, was convinced he has paid all the dues on the vehicle.
Interestingly, Osimhen is a Mercedes ambassador in Turkey.
It was also learnt that the Mercedes-Benz parent company has since apologised for the stress to the player’s present agents.
