Victor Osimhen was very angry that Napoli made a video on TikTok that made fun of the scorer.
Victor Osimhen is mad at Napoli because the Italian champions shared a video making fun of the striker’s missed penalty on the weekend.
In a strange video posted to the club’s TikTok account, Osimhen’s plea for a penalty during Sunday’s goalless draw with Bologna was overlaid with a loud, sped-up voice. The video, which has since been taken down, then showed that the Nigerian player missed the penalty kick.

Osimhen also got into a fight with Napoli coach Rudi Garcia after he was taken off in the last few minutes of the game against Bologna, which ended in a tie. With this result, last year’s champions are already seven points behind Serie A leaders Inter.
The striker, who was wanted by Manchester United and Chelsea in the summer, is said to be upset by Napoli’s post, and he has now deleted all pictures of the Serie A club from his official Instagram account.
Roberto Calenda, Osimhen’s agent, has criticised Napoli’s post on social media and has threatened to sue the Serie A side.
“What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not okay,” Calenda said in a statement on Monday night.
“A movie making fun of Victor was first made public, but it has since been taken down.
“This is a real fact that hurts the player very badly and adds to the way the boy has been treated in the last few months, between media trials and fake news.
“We reserve the right to go to court and take any other helpful steps to protect Victor.”
Napoli is scheduled to play Udinese on Wednesday evening, but it is still not clear if Osimhen, who scored 26 goals in Serie A last season, will play.
