Tension between Victor Osimhen and Napoli is gradually escalating after the forward reportedly deleted Napoli related posts from his Instagram page.
Osimhen made the move after Napoli posted a video on Tik Tok mocking him for missing a penalty against Bologna last weekend.
The video was later deleted by the Serie A champions.
In his reaction to the video, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda said could take a legal action against Napoli.
“What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable. A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted”.
“A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news”.

The 24-year-old played a crucial role in Napoli’s Scudetto success last season.
The striker scored 26 goals in 32 league games.
