Victor Osimhen Contemplating Legal Action Against Napoli Over TikTok Incident

Napoli’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, is reportedly considering legal action against the club following a controversial incident on Napoli’s official TikTok account. This revelation comes via a formal statement from Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, who expressed deep concerns about the situation.

The incident in question involved a video posted on Napoli’s TikTok profile that initially mocked Victor Osimhen and featured a playful reference to coconuts. The official club account on the popular social media platform shared a video of Osimhen’s missed penalty from the past weekend, accompanied by a slightly teasing soundtrack.

Though the video has since been removed, the damage caused by its circulation remains a contentious issue.

Calenda’s statement underscores the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing that the video’s release has inflicted significant harm on the player. It is suggested that this incident compounds the challenges Osimhen has faced, including negative media attention and the spread of false information.

In response to this situation, Osimhen’s camp has asserted their intention to explore legal avenues and take all necessary steps to protect the interests and reputation of Victor Osimhen.

This development adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous period for the talented striker. Notably, Victor Osimhen was a target for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) last summer, but Napoli stood firm, demanding more than 100 million euros for their player.

The football world will closely follow how this situation evolves in the coming days, especially as Osimhen has deleted all photos with Napoli’s jersey from his social media profiles.
