Recent reports from Italy suggest that Napoli players are expressing discontent over what they perceive as preferential treatment given to Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker. The players are reportedly irked by the special privileges Osimhen has been enjoying, leading to tensions within the team’s locker room. Despite Osimhen’s vocal desire to depart the club next summer, Napoli’s management allegedly continues to afford him distinct treatment, causing resentment among other squad members.
Osimhen, who played a pivotal role in Napoli’s victory in the last Seria A season and Nigeria’s 2nd Place in the 2023 AFCON, emerged as a key figure for the club following his impressive performance, contributing significantly to their success. However, this season has presented challenges for the Nigerian international, with struggles to maintain fitness and replicate his previous form.
His absence from Napoli’s recent fixture against Genoa, watching from the sidelines, is believed to have further fueled speculation and discontent among teammates regarding his utilization and prioritization within the squad.
