𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Napoli release official statement in response to Victor Osimhen case
“Calcio Napoli, wishing to avoid any exploitation of the issue, point out that we never wanted to offend or mock Victor Osimhen, who is a treasure of this club”.
“As proof of that, during the summer training retreat, the Club firmly rebuffed every offer that was received for the striker’s transfer abroad”.
“Social media, in particular TikTok, has always used an expressive form of language with a light heart and creativity, without wanting to, as in the case with Osimhen as protagonist, have any intention of insult or derision”.
“In any case, if Victor perceived any offence towards him, this was not what the club intended”.
Victor Osimhen has said his love for Napoli is “unwavering” after his agent said the player “reserves the right to take legal action” against the club after a video was posted and then deleted from the Serie A side’s official TikTok account on Tuesday.
Osimhen deleted almost all pictures of himself in the team’s shirt from his social media accounts after the club posted a video online mocking him.
Paul Pogba is banned from having access to the Juventus training ground and the midfielder also no longer has the right to come into contact with club employees.
