Napoli to sue company over unauthorized "Osimhen doll"

Serie A champions Napoli have announced that they will take legal action against an Italian toy store over the release of a doll that was not authorized by the club.

The club released a statement on Thursday evening stating that neither the club nor Osimhen authorised the doll.

Napoli claimed the unlicensed doll bears a strange resemblance to Victor Osimhen which has made it viral on social media.

A part of the official statement reads: “We’re denying any report on the Italian media about releasing kids toy ‘Cicciobello Bomber’ inspired by Victor Osimhen in Napoli shirt.

“That product was not authorized by the club — we will settle this issue in court”.
