Naples is currently experiencing significant levels of tension as their star striker Victor Osimhen is enraged with the club over recent social media events that have put the team in trouble with the player and his agency.
He has gained recognition as one of the greatest attacking players in the world after leading the Napoli attack as the team won their first Scudetto in 33 years and the first since the Diego Maradona era.
So much so that Osimhen has been targeted by Real Madrid as their next great striker, and over the summer, huge offers from Saudi Arabia were made in an effort to entice him to the Middle East and raise the league’s image.
The Nigerian has apparently declared his love for Barcelona, though, according to SPORT.“Barça was my favorite team when I was younger because of Samuel Eto’o. And they are still my favorite team,” allegedly remarked Osimhen.The Italian champions’ season has not gone as planned; after six games, they are in sixth place, four points behind Inter and Milan. Additionally, Osimhen and his new coach, Rudi Garcia, don’t seem to get along so well.The forward, who also missed a penalty, was upset about being replaced against Bologna with the score at 0-0. The situation deteriorated when Roberto Calenda, the representative of the Nigerian player, publicly threatened legal action when Napoli’s social media staff posted a TikTok video criticizing the missed penalty.He thinks the atmosphere at Napoli is getting too toxic and unfriendly to the player.All things considered, Osimhen would benefit from a change of scenery, and the way things are, he should go as soon as he gets the chance.Who knows if Barcelona will make any moves for him now that this fresh information has come to light?Given Barcelona’s financial stability, though, calling the transaction impossible is also an understatement.
