Super Eagles’ star striker, Victor Osimhen, finds himself embroiled in yet another dispute with Napoli fans, marking a further chapter in their strained relationship. Osimhen, who was recently nominated for both the FIFA Best Player Award and France Football’s Ballon d’Or, has seen his once-promising rapport with the club’s supporters deteriorate over time.
The trouble started with contract negotiations stalling and a change in coaching staff leading to a dip in form for Napoli. Mocking videos on Napoli’s official TikTok account further exacerbated the issue. One video taunted Osimhen for pleading for a penalty and missing the subsequent kick, while another compared his appearance to a coconut.
In a recent video that surfaced online, Osimhen appeared visibly angered by fans requesting autographs. It appeared that the fans had damaged his car, further fueling his frustration.

With his contract set to expire in 2025, it is increasingly likely that Napoli will seek to transfer the Nigerian striker, as the divide between him and the club widens. In addition to this rift, Osimhen remains sidelined due to an injury sustained during international duty with Nigeria, leaving his future with Napoli in doubt.
