Oma Akatugba, a close friend and part of the entourage of Victor Osimhen, stated that the marksman will look for a way out following the two Tik Tok videos deriding him (via Fantacalcio).
“I’ve seen a young Nigerian from Lagos join Napoli three summers ago and help them win the title after 33 years, bringing them back to the pinnacle of Italian football. Everything was going well, they were all crazy about him and called him the king of Naples. They made cakes with his face and mask and found other ways to pay homage. A few months later, they published these two videos, one about the penalty kick against Bologna, the other calling him a coconut. I can’t believe it.”
Osimhen has been regularly called up for the match between Napoli and Udinese.
“It’s incredible for an official account to mock one of his players. It’s a shame, it’s unacceptable and ridiculous, a lack of respect and a grave error. He’s the top striker in Italy, the best player in Serie A, and a Ballon d’Or candidate. That’s how he gets treated only because he hasn’t scored in a game or two? What will be the consequences now?”
“Napoli will lose Osimhen. He won’t renew his contract and will try to leave as soon as possible. I state that as a journalist. I don’t speak for him. But it’s inevitable. No club ridicules his star. I don’t think the Azzurri are racist. But those videos allow people to say that.”
