Football fans have expressed outrag£ and disappointment at the Serie A champions, Napoli, for “tr%lling” Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen in a video.
According to Mirror Uk, Victor Osimhen will ‘reserve the right to take legal action’ against his own club Napoli over a video posted via their official TikTok account.
It would be recalled that Osimhen helped fir£ Napoli to a first league title in over 30 years last time out with a standout campaign in which he netted 31 goals across all competitions. However, he was the target of a bizarre video posted from the club’s own social media profile on Tuesday.
The video centred on an incident in the club’s scoreless draw against Bologna on Sunday, in which Osimhen spurned the opportunity to win the game from the penalty spot. That proved to be the game’s defining moment and was a rare miss from the Nigerian – who had bagged three goals in his first five matches this season.
Yet Napoli’s peculiar video focused on Osimhen appealing for the penalty, using a strange and rather unsettling sped-up voice – which appeared to have no context, other than to m%ck the striker for his attempts to persuade the decision to be given.
The video continued to show the striker blasting his effort off target and then abruptly ending. The club are yet to acknowledge the video, which was subsequently deleted, but agent Roberto Calenda has suggested that Osimhen is considering legal action against his club – an extremely unusual circumstance.
Calendo said on Tuesday evening: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable. A video m%cking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.” The FIFA agent added: “A serious fact that causes very serious d@mage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is s¥ffering in the last period between media trials and fak£ news. We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.”
