Nigerians are taking out their frustration at Napoli after their drastic actions on Victor Osimhen after the striker could not secure a move away from the club.... CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶▶
Osimhen was expected to leave the club after four years before the transfer window closed, but by the 11 pm deadline last night, he could not find a suitable agreement to leave the club.
According to Gianluca DiMarzio, Napoli sabotaged the move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli after requesting an extra €5 million despite the full agreement of €75-80mil.
The move forced the Jeddah-based club to walk away and immediately signed Brentford striker Ivan Toney for a reported £36million.
Nigerians flood Napoli’s social media pages
Following the close of the window, the Neapolitans excluded the Super Eagles striker from their squad list for the 2024/25 season and stripped him of his number 9 jersey.
This prompted Nigerians to camp and insult the club under their social media post announcing the arrival of former Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour.
