Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen finds himself in hot water at Napoli following a recent altercation with a fan at a nightclub. This incident adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous summer for the Nigerian forward, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation.
Osimhen, who has attracted significant interest from clubs like Chelsea, missed Napoli’s latest Coppa Italia match as uncertainty looms over his future at the Italian club. Despite the interest, his hefty €130 million release clause has deterred potential buyers.
The drama escalated when a video surfaced on TikTok, capturing Osimhen visibly agitated after realizing a fan was filming him. The footage shows him confronting the fan before the video cuts off abruptly.
According to reports from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen could face disciplinary action from Napoli for his behavior. The club’s manager, Antonio Conte, is known for his strict approach to discipline, and the incident could lead to a fine for the 25-year-old striker.
Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille in a record-breaking transfer worth over €70 million, and he has since become a pivotal player for the club. However, with the club’s director hinting that Osimhen may not be part of their plans for the upcoming season, his future at Napoli remains uncertain.
