TikTok Saga: Napoli Refuse To Apologize To Osimhen

Napoli have refused to apologize for their controversial social media post which appeared to mock Victor Osimhen – but insisted they ‘never intended to offend’ their star striker.

The Serie A side sparked controversy this week when they posted videos on their Tik Tok account mocking Osimhen, leading to his agent threatening to take legal action.

Bizarrely the club also mentioned how they had rejected several transfers offers for the forward during the summer window.

‘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.’

It remains to be seen as to how Osimhen and his agent will react to the latest statement after it did not contain a public apology.
