Napoli has release and official statement on Victor Osimhen and TikTok video case.
ANN recall that fans deemed a video posted on the club’s official TikTok handle was seen as mocking Nigeria international Victor Osimhen for missing a penalty on Sunday.
“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”.
The controversial TikTok video has so far provoked the 24-year-old striker to delete all Napoli related photos on his official Instagram page.
