Posted by Victor Osimhen, a Super Eagles striker, has vowed to sue Napoli over a TikTok video that was posted on Tuesday.
The video attempts to taunt Osimhen for missing a penalty during their 0-0 Serie A tie with Bologna last weekend.
That proved to be the game’s crucial moment, and it was a rare miss from the Nigerian, who has three goals in his first five games this season.
Following a significant criticism on social media, Napoli eventually removed the video.
Roberto Calenda, Osimhen’s agent, has intimated that the player is considering legal action against his club.
“What happened today on Napoli’s official TikTok profile is unacceptable.” A video insulting Victor was initially made public before being removed, albeit belatedly.
“A serious fact that causes very serious harm to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy has been subjected to in the last period between media trials and fake news.” “We reserve the right to take legal action and any other appropriate measure to protect Victor,” Calenda stated.
