Victor Osimhen has reaffirmed his loyalty to Napoli and expressed his excitement about his journey in Naples, Italy. However, there was some controversy when Napoli’s official TikTok account posted a video mocking him for missing a penalty against Bologna. The video featured a high-pitched voice and drew comparisons between Osimhen and a coconut.
Napoli issued a statement clarifying that the video was not meant to harm their cherished player, but many fans criticized the club for it. Osimhen had remained silent on the matter until now, when he finally commented on it and pledged his commitment to the Serie A champions.
In his Instagram post, Osimhen said, “Coming to the City of Naples in 2020 was a fantastic decision for me. The people of Napoli have shown me immense love and kindness, and I won’t let anything come between us. The passion of the people of Naples motivates me to play with all my heart and soul, and I proudly wear the badge.”
He also refuted accusations against the people of Naples, stating that he has many Napolitan friends who have become like family to him. He expressed gratitude for the support from Nigerians and everyone else and called for unity, respect, and understanding. He ended with “FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE.”
Previously, Osimhen had deleted all Napoli-related content from his social media platforms.
