The agent of Napoli star striker, Victor Osimhen has threatened to take legal action against the club after they made fun of him on TikTok.
This bizarre video comes after Osimhen helped the Italian team secure a first league title, the club’s first in three decades.
After Osimhen helped Napoli with 31 goals across all competitions last season, he became the target of a strange, now-deleted video, shared to the Serie A club’s official TikTok account.
Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda issued a statement on Tuesday night about the incident.
He wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable. A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.
“A 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.”
Calenda added: “We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor”.
A few hours after Calenda’s comments, Osimhen removed almost all Napoli-related photos from his Instagram, including last season’s Scudetto celebrations.
The TikTok post featured a clip of the striker’s penalty miss from their match against Bologna on Sunday, with an odd, sped-up voice dubbed over the top.
