Napoli’s President, Aurelio de Laurentiis, has sent a cryptic message to star striker Victor Osimhen amidst ongoing speculations about the player’s future at the club. This comes in the wake of a controversial TikTok incident that raised questions about Osimhen’s commitment to Napoli.
Victor Osimhen had an outstanding season, contributing significantly to Napoli’s first Scudetto title in 33 years with 26 league goals. His impressive performances attracted interest from top clubs, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich, during the summer transfer window. Despite bids from PSG and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, Osimhen remained with Napoli for the 2023/24 season.
Reports initially indicated that Osimhen and Napoli were close to finalizing a contract extension, securing his services beyond his current contract’s expiration in 2025. However, recent events have strained the relationship between the player and the club.

The controversy began when Napoli posted a video on social media that seemed to mock Osimhen’s missed penalty at Bologna. This incident drew criticism from football legend Thierry Henry, who labeled Napoli’s handling of the situation as “stupid and shocking.” While Osimhen chose not to pursue legal action against Napoli, it raised speculations about his potential departure from the club.
Napoli owner De Laurentiis appears unperturbed by the situation, suggesting that there are no concerns regarding Osimhen’s contract extension. He hinted that players often find happiness at Napoli but struggle to maintain that joy once they leave the club. When asked about Osimhen’s contract renewal prospects, De Laurentiis remarked, “There is no problem, there is never a problem: everyone in Napoli is always happy; the problem is when they leave, they can no longer find the main road.”

De Laurentiis, however, praised Osimhen’s exceptional match-winning abilities, emphasizing his capacity to single-handedly shape a team’s performance. He stated, “Always strong, he’s a player who makes a team on his own. That’s not up for debate.”
Despite the ongoing uncertainties surrounding Osimhen’s future at Napoli, the Super Eagles forward has never concealed his desire to one day play in the English Premier League.
As the situation continues to unfold, football fans around the world will be eagerly awaiting developments in the Victor Osimhen transfer saga.
