Napoli refuses to apologize to Osimhen, clarifies controversial TikTtok video

Napoli have refused to apologise to Victor Osimhen but instead issued a statement published on its official website to clarify the nauseating TikTtok video mocking the Nigerian after he missed a penalty. In the statement, the club say they ‘never wanted to offend or mock Victor Osimhen’ with the TikTok video.

‘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.’
