The relationship between Victor Osimhen and Napoli has taken an intriguing turn : a controversial video and now teammates ignored.
In the closing moments of the Napoli vs. Bologna match, Victor Osimhen found himself substituted by Rudi Garcia, and the aftermath was a display of frustration towards the French coach. The match had been a challenging one for Napoli, with victory remaining elusive, and Osimhen’s exit only added to the drama.
Adding to the striker’s dismay was the fact that just moments earlier, the 24-year-old Nigerian forward had failed to convert a crucial penalty kick. Although Osimhen publicly apologized for the widely discussed incident, matters took an unexpected turn when Napoli’s official TikTok account posted a video that humorously mocked his missed opportunity.
Following this incident, Victor Osimhen’s discontent with his current club became increasingly evident. Despite earlier rumors of a contract extension for the Nigerian forward, such prospects now appear distant.
The tension between player and club seems to be approaching a breaking point, as evidenced by Osimhen’s behavior on a subsequent Wednesday. On that day, he arrived at the Partenopei’s hotel without acknowledging his teammates and even ignored two of them, namely Diogo Demme and Piotr Zielinski. The atmosphere is undoubtedly fraught with tension.
