Victor Osimhen just shared this message on his Instagram account regarding the situation at Napoli: “Coming to the City of Naples in 2020 was a wonderful decision for me. The People of Napoli have shown me so much love and kindness, and I will not allow anyone to come between us”. “The passion of the People of Naples fuels my fire to always play with my heart and soul, and the love for the badge is unwavering as I wear it with pride”. “The accusations against People of Naples are untrue. I have a lot of friends that are Napolitans and have become part of my family and everyday life. I appreciate Nigerians and everyone for leading their voices to support and reach out to me”. “I’m forever grateful. Let’s support unity, respect and understanding. FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE”

Napoli started the statement by saying, he's an asset, that should speak a lot

You see, my father is a massive fan of Napoli. After this, he fell ashamed for the club

The fact that they refused to apologize means that they are in support of the post. The earlier Osimhen finds his way out of that racist club and country the better.

no racist is ever going to come out and say "hello I'm racist" watch their behaviour and follow the pattern

Actually... it's not loyalty if he stays... it's stupidity... No offense to my brother but am expressing my opinion and what I think is best for him... He also has a responsibility towards us Africa's in his position... ❤We are Africans and we are proud every day... Even our struggles are beautiful.... They mold us.🇿🇲🇳🇬🌍🇨🇫

No racist racist in the world can break the Nigerian spirit!! We are like 🔥🔥🔥💪🖕🏼🤷🏻‍♂️😠🤕🤕😭🇳🇬💕💕

Victor Osimhen, Arsenal FC awaits you my friend, We have a lot of Naija boys here and african players are always respected here!

When is love ever real? Your mother and kids are unconditional. Everyone else is beneficial. Sad but true

What I'm happy for is that even if the club mock him for missing the penalty, look at his last two games now he scores that is what I'm happy for hopefully next year he can leave Italy to another country

If Osimhen and Rafael Leao move to England they can be legends like Henry and Drogba and they can be loved and respected as they deserve.

Leave em ungrateful racist Victor you are a winner my brother, in one season you have achieved what in decades many good players has tried and failed,, 👊💪 this says it all you are written in the stars my brother 🌟🌟

It's the same thing with Rafael Leao at AC Milan, if Giroud misses a goal or play badly, for Milan fans and Italian media it's not a big deal and they say it's allright you'll play better next time, but if Leao miss a goal or play badly then Milan fans and the Italian press insult him and mock him. Italians don't love black footballers, they just tolerated them because they help their teams winning. If Leao move to England he can be a legend and loved like Henry and Drogba.

Victor didn’t even win the player of the season last year, while he was by far the most important player in the League

We gonna form the African premiere league on our mama Africa 🌍 ❤❤❤ inshallah

He never got any real love. Those people are extreme racists. He's just trying to force himself into where he's clearly not liked.

Kvara missed a penalty against Liverpool in the Champions League last season. The penalty loss got them knocked out, but they didn't complain nor mock him. Naples is filled with coconut headed people.

As italian and as napoletana I'm very ashamed, we support and love Oshimen The racist who did the video should be punished. Me and all the Napoli'supporters are very very Sorry for everything that happened 🙏

Make Africa Great Again. Period

Am Zambian... & I pray my brother leaves that Napoli asap... sadly even at a loss depending on his contract with them, his an asset everywhere and needs to be appreciated.. At some point in life, we all need to apply pride...

Napoli was behind him not getting the MVP last season. They pushed Kvara forward for the award and likened him to Maradona. Racist club and country. How could you treat a legend in this manner?

This round of news is absolutely untrue and I'm incredibly sorry that the people of Nigeria think Neapolitans are racist, and I would like to apologize if you think it that way, but it's really not true. It's crazy that no journalist or person from Naples has been interviewed and it's really portraying us in a very bad light (probably for another club's gain). Neapolitans love Victor Osimhen and we respect him for the absolute legend he is. The kids look up to him and wear his mask because they wanna be exactly like him. What he did for us last year will never be forgotten, he has written the history of our club. NO ONE was insulting Osimhen after that missed penalty. No one. Who's spreading news that we are hating on him???????????? It's been always love and it will keep on being love forever, even when he doesn't score. And the fact that we're racist is absolute BS, while we obviously have not been ever victims of racism we have been victims of discrimination ever since Italy was a nation, it's in our history to hate discrimination and oppose racism. The clubs up north are the real racists. Just look up racism incidents in Italian football, you will NEVER see Neapolitan fans being racist. “Coming to the City of Naples in 2020 was a wonderful decision for me. The People of Napoli have shown me so much love and kindness, and I will not allow anyone to come between us”. -Victor Osimhen himself. Why would he lie? Why would he release this PR statement if the people of Napoli would be hating on him? The answer is that we love him, now and forever. About what happened, the club's tiktok social media manager is a pretty young guy who wanted to be playful and "ironic" (like many of the videos on the account) but ended up being completely distasteful and unprofessional. It was in no way meant to be racist or ot mock him but it was definitely a very bad thing and there should have been an apology. But you wanna know why there will never be an official apology? The club's president. That's why you will never see an official apology or Osimhen being paid what he deserves. He's a real prideful and lowly guy who's too proud to acknowledge any fault and issue an apology. You can trust my words on this. Unfortunately that's how things are and he will be the real reason Osimhen ends up leaving Napoli, he believes he can get away with anything.

I am totally with victor and he should go through with this lawsuit against Napoli.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt - I still believe they didn't foresee this outcome. But would they have, if the player in question was a Kvara, Di Lorenzo etc? What I am trying to say is that there could be something very unfair with the way you see things, without you knowing about it. Someone posted the video and made a whole club look bad, but the said club didn't have the humility and goodwill to say sorry. Not even in the playful manner the video poster meant to make their bad joke about Osimhen.

After scoring so many goals for them...one penalty miss and they start trolling ..wat a shame.....indeed the love he got in Italy is a fake love..

Osimehn needs to get out of that club no later than summer 2024. The writing is on the wall. A word is enough for the wise 💙🇳🇬

When Insigne was missing several penalties he took, many of them won by Osimhen, the Italian media and Napoli never made negative comments. It is a shame

Napoli maybe don't like him but their fans adore him they even have a song for him, mourinho said osimhen is the most complete n9 right now...

They've been doing this mockery type videos for a couple of months, sometimes they make joke videos about him missing chances etc. When I first saw the videos, all I could think is "I hope the player is in on whatever the joke here is, because if not, this is weird". They pumped out a few more videos like that and each time I had to truly check if it was the official account of the club, not some parody. To now see that the player was upset by one of the video, makes me realize how dumb such would be. Why even make such a joke after your own player missed a penalty and everyone is having issues with the new manager. Very weird sequence of decisions from Napoli at the very least.

Come to MAN.U , We'll give him all the Love, A Football Icon like Him Deserves ... And Soooooooo MUCH MORE

Is the culture for Italy that why ethiopia 🇪🇹 kicked them out

Bring him to UK would love to watch his talent here and people are less racist

If I were the president of Napoli, I would’ve fired everyone that was involved with the post and made an apology statement to my player. It’s not just disrespectful it’s also racist.

First of all we Nigerians will teach Napoli president that nobody touches or harm our own, Never, even if our leader's can't do it for us, we Nigerians are powerful enough to do it for ourselves, Victor Osimhen is our Brother, our very own and Napoli president will never dare do what Italy did to our Africa Brother Balotelli to him, we Nigerians will bury that club underground and will force Napoli president to shut down all his social medias accounts, I have said it before Osimhen should leave Napoli because they do not deserve him and they have proven it again, Osimhen is the only reason i and millions of Nigerians and Africans watches Napoli matches and that is a reality, just like Didier Drogba was the reason I watch Chelsea then before John Mikel Obi later joined Chelsea,

That's why Africa needs to get things right. Africans are treated like less human in many places all over the world. Even countries causing economic calamities for Africa, stealing from Africa, still treat black people with disdain.

They will never love you like we love you ,AFRICA WILL RISE! Be patient

How about you let him decide? Never tought of that huh? Nigerians are so excited about his talent that they're grooming Victor into taking a decision, Napoli isn't the only place victor played in europe but it is the only place that he's been successful and it does not mean that he will immediately find success elsewhere.

But Wait any black person going outside the country especially Europe just expect this I'm not supporting Napoli but has a black person expect racism 💯

I do not feel sorry for anyone who is considered black who goes to Italy for football and expect them to be different just for you....

Too often in the past Napoli management has proved to be amateur; this non-professional behave has leaded to lose players and managers, from Higuain to Sarri, from Spalletti to Benitez, and once again this reckless tweet risk to damage the ties with the most representative team player, Viktor Osimehn. As a Napoli fan, I wish to assure that in this circumstance everyone is on Osimehn’s side. We are grateful for what he’s done and because he decided to stay another year with us, and we are deluded and preoccupied for this beginning of season and this senseless tweet. We’ve already had black players, from Canè to Zalayeta, and no one of them has ever had problems with fans, we are citizens of the most discriminated city of Italy, other fans booe at us when we play far from Naples, so don’t mistake the lack of professionality in Napoli football society with racism in Napoli city, we’ve never been that kind of people

Leao and Osimhen at NUFC would be dreamy, we welcome anyone from anywhere.

Osimhen should come to Madrid, they need a 9 anyway, he needs a club that gives him the value he deserves

It's nothing new, if they can do it to Balotteli that played for Italy, Osimhen shouldn't expect less... An advise, he should just move out of Italy because they ain't gonna stop anytime soon... Very unfortunate!

If you don’t intend to offend someone but unfortunately you offend them, you have to apologize . That’s it

He should come to England

Why is Napoli and the Italian league treating this young talented striker

Despite everything he played. Without Osimhen, who knows Napoli. I, as a Nigerian, also demand an apology from the club ... it's one for all. Apologize officially using the same Tiktok and other official media handles of the club to V. Osimhen; cos we will keep dragging this matter, and it won't rest. We Nigerians, don't tolerate anyone insulting our intelligence. There is a clear line between a joke and an insult to someone's personality. #NapoliapologisetoOsimhen #ApologisetoOsimhen

tell osimhen to come to west ham in london. we love him here.

Now people understand why players should never be loyal to a club.

They need to find who in the organization posted the clip, that persons name needs to be made public. Serious questions needs to be asked about this individual or who ever gave the order.

All the best Victor, Napoli don't deserve you.

Not surprised by this, Italy is notorious for these kinds of things happening in their league. I would also say the English and German leagues are not immune to this problem as well but for some reason the Italians get the most press.

Africans t's time to open our eyes not only eyes but heart,mind and soul.......

Guy nearly broke his face in two for the club....

Come to United. You will be loved

Why is he looking for love ? He should just look for his money. Nigerians people and his family love him. That’s enough!!

" if you understand yt supremacy and racism everything else you think you understand will only confuse you " Mr NEELY FULLER

Victor deserves love. Come to Liverpool

I hope its not a ploy that capitalizes on the failure of the social media manager to bring him to the premier League. i understand its bad there but Napoli is one of the few clubs he will be treated right

If you really thinks that Neapolitans don't love Osimehn than you've nevere really experienced love, sorry for you, Victor is a God for Napoli fans, just try to ask people instead of judging by ideas of people who's never been in Naples in their entire life.

How can you not like Victor? such a shame

He is an “asset” to the club. In other words just to make money for the club

Man united needs you Osi

This is a good thing in disguise he will go to a better team and win all

saying that Naples' love for Victor is false is equivalent to saying that the earth is flat...... but did Victor apologize to Garcia for his outburst then? Two weights and two measures?

Hi, I Love: Italian_"Soccer"/FOOTball. -M.K.S.

No damn recognition since they won the league last season at this point f Napoli I hope osimhen finds better

Osimhen had better come to England where the world is more civilised to enjoy his football and sacrifices. The barbarians don’t deserve him. He s too good for them!!!

Respect for napoli leadership -5

I want him to go to madrid

Football doesn’t have the power to change deep rooted beliefs nor should it.

In reality the people of Napoli love him

Nothing new Italy has always been.we have been seeing it over years.

It's an absolute disgrace what his own fans did to Osimhen. He should come to the Premier league, preferably to Liverpool

They need money and they have devised a plan of selling him..

He doesn't need an apology, pls advice him to leave asap

They love him as long as he does well, as soon as he has a bad performance the racism surfaces

Go get him Chels 💙!

They want to sell him. They want to maximize profit. Let's not ignore that.

Welcome to Chelsea Oshimen 💙💙💙

Simply that he needs to exit Italy, But the next destination is problematic. Arguably only the PL in England is a viable option in terms of challenge and wages. How many top English PL teams require this kind of player? Arguably Arsenal and Chelsea is so far as they dont have that type of player currently. And they would need to break the bank to land him. Certainly for Arsenal, he automatically makes them contenders. Assuming he can easily make the transition to the more intense nature of the PL. He cant go to RM cos Mbappe is going there. Either that or Enugu Rangers 🙄

He would be daft to stay there when he now knows what they really think of him.

I don’t understand them not as if Messi and Ronaldo have not miss a penalty before

You can say the same thing about any other minority group of players in playing in Europ. Once they hit a run of poor form... It's just a matter of time

He should focus on his purpose. He should know he can't be loved everywhere and you can't buy likes or love from people. Africans have been abused everywhere and it's not sth new nowadays. Everybody will like what you do but not who you are. FOCUS on your game boy coz that's what defines you and makes you happy. Anything else will clout chasing. Hope you be wise and ignore them. Again, FOCUS FOCUS!!!

He should take legal action against the club. He deserves an apology, yet they fail to give one. How can you do that to a player in yor team , one of your best players? Victor needs to start getting ready to leave that club soon.

Please come to Arsenal, and made new history here, you will be a forever legend🙌

To us Italians it’s clear that these judgements about a city and a country are all made by people who never set a foot in our land, do not know it and do not understand it. 1 racists and ignorant people are in every country and a catholic country like Italy is can never be considered racist (just look at the number of immigrants we welcome without having the ability to do it, all people that many other neighbors simply refuse to host 2 the mockery video was clearly a silly, unfortunate and not funny move in a society where social media have way too much attention than they should receive 3 the club already expressed its sincere apologies yet the racism card is still played for the sake of polemic behavior 4 go and visit the country, especially the south, and you will discover a warmth and a kindness towards the others that you rarely find it elsewhere (and I am from the north of Italy so you can believe my judgment is not biased) take all these into consideration before issuing a comment and talk about a racist country / city in its whole

Napoli is small club and he needs to mock them back. Africa ❤

Chealsea f.c impatiently waits for you 😢

I feel torn in a way about this situation. This doesn't entirely reflect on the club as a whole. This is specific to whomever is in charge of releasing these clips to the public which is not the manager, not the staff, not the assistant coaches. Imagine the disappointment the manager would feel as well seeing his main player being disrespected. Whoever is in charge of the tiktok, KZfaq, social media is who is responsible in my opinion. That being said, I don't know why the club would not apologize and say they fired the individual. Maybe, it's a matter of pride and not looking foolish and admitting they didn't have quality assurance?

Man this is unfortunate. He would probably fit very well in Real Madrid, but they are iffy as well . Too bad Africa doesn’t have a big time futbol leagues. Maybe The Premier league would be best.

It would be unwise to condemn an entire group based on the actions of a few individuals. The coach, players, and fans are all affected negatively. Instead of blaming the city or the players, let's place responsibility on the management.

Players obviously play wherever they are given the chance, but no Black player with control of his own future should choose Italy. I've visited Italy there twice and never want to return because I saw police roughing up Black immigrants everywhere I went. Osinhen has a choice. He should sue for breach of contract and seek to leave (either paid or unpaid). He can play for any team he wants.

If it's fake, then it's not love.

Oloriburuku club

was big mistake to renew his contract with them ! they didn't respect his effort to bring the title after nearly 33 years since maradona's era ! he must leave this shit club by any mean. Big clubs in premier league ready to grab him.

For the Napoli fans that are saying they love Osimhen, pls, who were the people liking that same video of Osimhen being mocked on TikTok???? Una go explain tire 🙄🙄🙄

Comè 2 Chelsea, Osihmen!! We'll treat ya right..

He should put a transfer request in... Clearly, his efforts and achievements aren't worth their weight in gold in Italy...
