Napoli did not apologize to Victor Osimhen, 24, until the end.

“The video that our club recently posted on social media (SNS) TikTok was not intended to insult or mock Osimhen. Even if Osimhen felt offended, this was not our intention,” the club said in a statement. There was no “I’m sorry” apology.

Here’s what happened. On April 28, Napoli posted a video of Osimen on the club’s TikTok account. It included a dubbed voice comparing Osimhen to a coconut and saying, “I’m a coconut,” and a voice saying, “Give me a penalty kick,” as Osimhen was being called for a penalty kick (PK).

It’s a post with strong racist undertones. Napoli quickly deleted the video after fans criticized it, but the impact of that brief moment was far-reaching. Osimhen deleted all Napoli-related photos and videos from his personal social media account, Instagram. Only Nigerian national team posts remained.

Roberto Calenda, Osimhen’s agent, said: “The video posted on Napoli’s TikTok is unacceptable to us. Napoli publicly distributed a video mocking Osimhen. They later deleted it when the matter became serious, but it is clear that the behavior is mortally wounding to the player.”

“Despite this, Osimhen has been criticized for his recent poor form, and we will be preparing legal action against Napoli to protect him.” Osimhen’s relationship with Napoli has reached an irreparable breaking point.

Osimhen has been in poor form, failing to score in his last three games. In the last one, against Bologna, he missed a PK. Head coach Rudi Garcia took him off midway through the second half. Osimhen was angry with Garcia as he went to the bench.온라인카지노

Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo said, “Osimhen was at fault for openly expressing his dissatisfaction with the coach’s substitution instructions. It was an inappropriate behavior for a player.” Osimhen listened to the captain and apologized to the team.

In the three games in which Osimhen was silent, Napoli failed to win a point against Lazio (1-2 loss), Genoa (2-2 draw), and Bologna (0-0 draw). The team has fallen to seventh place. As the team’s fortunes plummeted, internal conflicts emerged.

Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli as soon as the winter transfer window opens. Fans of other clubs have been following the situation and have been trying to recruit him, saying, “Don’t stress yourself out in Napoli, come to our team.”
