Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has recently removed all Napoli-related photos from his Instagram account. This move comes in the wake of the club’s decision to share a video on their Instagram page, which mocked Osimhen for his penalty miss in a recent match against Bologna.
Osimhen, who has faced challenges in the early stages of the new season, notably missed a penalty during Napoli’s goalless draw with Bologna. His frustration escalated when he was substituted by manager Rudi Garcia, although he later issued an apology for his reaction.
The situation took a contentious turn when Napoli posted the aforementioned video on their Instagram account, which prompted Roberto Calendar, Osimhen’s agent, to express his intention to potentially take legal action against the club. Calendar cited the video as causing “significant harm to the player.”
In response to the video and amidst this ongoing saga, Victor Osimhen chose to delete all Napoli-related images from his Instagram page. This move appears to be his way of addressing Napoli’s actions in mocking him.
As of now, uncertainty surrounds Osimhen’s future at the club, as he has yet to finalize a new contract with Napoli, despite ongoing negotiations since the conclusion of the 2022/23 season.
