The summer hit. Despite the offensives of Chelsea, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and especially Bayern Munich, Naples managed to keep Victor Osimhen. A true feat on the part of Aurelio De Laurentiis. There was even talk of a future extension for the player under contract until June 2025. But it has not yet arrived. And today, it is not certain that the player from Nigeria will sign a new lease. In fact, he went to war with his club.
The Osimhen clan is furious
Annoyed at being replaced in the 86th minute on Sunday against Bologna (0-0), the former LOSC player, who missed a penalty during the match, let out a rant. He was very angry with his trainer Rudi Garcia and he had made angry gestures. But it is not this incident that annoys Osimhen today. Yesterday, Napoli published a video of the penalty missed by their player on their official TikTok account. Images accompanied by slightly mocking music.
The player was twisted after this public humiliation. Despite the video being deleted, the damage was done. The player’s agent, Roberto Calenda, was the first to draw the line last night 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.”
The player made several strong gestures
Then he added: “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.” Indeed, the Osimhen clan plans to file a complaint against the Partenopei.
During the night, the 24-year-old continued to make strong gestures. So, he deleted from his account Instagram practically all the photos where he appears in the Napoli jersey. There Gazzetta dello Sport adds that he even stopped following his club on social networks. Divorce is near. The Italian media also specifies that a departure in the winter transfer window or even next summer is likely to happen. Especially since the Osimhen clan has had enough of negotiating an extension that is not coming. The rag is burning!
