A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/14\/15\/10-8e290cdc59a34e3e8c363351025b324c.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/26\/21\/SEI172351078.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/26\/21\/SEI173420604.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Calenda added: \u201cWe reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The video featured a clip of the striker\u2019s penalty miss from their match against Bologna on Sunday, with an odd, sped-up voice dubbed over the top. While the original was deleted, recorded versions of it appeared on Twitter\/X soon after &#8211; while Osimhen himself appears to have deleted every Instagram post on his account which featured a Napoli shirt.<\/p>\n<p>The strange social media clip comes after there appeared to be tension between Osimhen and Napoli manager Rudi Garcia during the game.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old Nigerian striker was seen berating Garcia as he was substituted off with four minutes remaining of the goalless draw.<\/p>\n<p>The bizarre social media scrap comes after Osimhen, who captured the interest of Manchester United this summer, did not sign a new contract with the Italian team.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2021\/09\/15\/14\/iStock-155247035.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2021\/09\/14\/20\/UES.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2021\/09\/13\/17\/newFile-16.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Osimhen\u2019s current deal runs through to the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n<p><em>PA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/victor-osimhen-tiktok-napoli-video-sue-b2419319.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Victor Osimhen fired Napoli to their first league title in three decades last season Sign up to Miguel Delaney\u2019s Reading the Game newsletter sent straight <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/victor-osimhen-may-sue-own-club-after-napoli-post-bizarre-video-on-social-media\/\" title=\"Victor Osimhen may sue own club after Napoli post bizarre video on social media\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-290194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
