Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has been spotted in a video arriving at the team’s hotel and snubbing some of his teammates while greeting team manager, Guiseppe Santoro before walking into the hotel.
The video was shared on X by football journalist, Fabrizio Romano on Wednesday.
This comes following the club sharing a video on their TikTok account where he was mocked for missing a penalty.
Roberto Calendar, the agent of Osimhen, threatened to sue the club over “very serious damage to the player” caused by the video.
The Nigerian forward has also pulled down all images related to Napoli from his Instagram page in what seemed to be a response to Napoli over the video.
