For several days now, an Osimhen malaise seems to have set in on the side of Naples. Evidenced by the gesture of humor from the Nigerian striker when he was replaced by Rudi Garcia this weekend, even if the former LOSC subsequently apologized to his coach. While Naples had high hopes of seeing it extended, now a new story has shaken all that up…
Indeed, earlier today, the official account of the Italian club published, on the social network TikTok, a video of the penalty missed by Osimhen last weekend. All this, with a little mocking music. Clearly not the content you would expect to find on an official club account, and this may even be the first time a club has made fun of one of its players like this.
Osimhen could file a complaint
The video has since been deleted, but logically it has not gone unnoticed. Roberto Calenda, the player’s agent, spoke out on social networks. “What happened today on the official Napoli profile on the TikTok network is unacceptable. A video mocking Victor was first published and then, belatedly, deleted”he first wrote.
“A serious fact which causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the player has suffered in recent times between media trials and fake news. We reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings and any useful initiative to protect Victor Osimhen”, concluded the agent.
