Serie A Football Club, Napoli on Thursday responded to the case of @victorosimhen9 who said he was in insulted on the club’s TikTok handle after he lost a penalty in their game against Bologna.
In the statement, @officialsscnapoli said the action was not what the club intended.
The statement read:
“Calcio Napoli, wishing to avoid any exploitation of the issue, point out that we never wanted to offend or mock Victor Osimhen, who is a treasure of this club”.
“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”.
