Italian football club, Napoli, has released a statement pointing out that the club never intended to offend or mock Victor Osimhen.
This is coming after the Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, was mocked by the club on social media. Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda has threatened to take legal action against the Serie A club.
However, the club has stated that that was never the intention.
The Club Statement:
“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”.
