Osimhen, social reactions to failed transfer from Napoli

August 31, 2024 (edit at 12:13) – MILANO

I’m going. I’m staying. Maybe. Who knows. Push and pull and in the end Napoli was left holding the baby. Victor Osimhen has not found buyers capable of satisfying his demands, with a salary of around 10 million. With transfers to Chelsea and Al Ahli falling through, the Nigerian for now (in Saudi Arabia the market closes on Monday) remains at the court of Antonio Conte. But out of the squad. The fans have not taken it well, even if they seem happier with the team built in the summer than with the paradoxical situation of the striker. In fact, they have expressed their disappointment on social media, blaming the player in the vast majority of cases and defending president De Laurentiis, emphasizing how much Adl has spent and how Napoli has strengthened compared to the very disappointing year of defending the title.

On Twitter (or X, if you prefer), we start with Mariano, one of the few to attack both: “Osimhen is not worth that money. Strong in the air but can’t even dribble the lamppost. De Laurentiis thought he had pulled off a great move, but in reality he is the one who has been screwed. Now it will be hard to explain to the others (Kvara above all) that a player earns 10 million without playing”.

Luipez launches an invitation to the president: “From today you must force Conte to integrate Osimhen into the squad, train and if necessary he must also play! Making him watch our games in the stands is only a physical advantage for him and an economic disadvantage for you!”. Slim95 takes it out on the Nigerian: “Osimhen who in the middle of the season says he’s leaving, takes 10 million never given to anyone, removes the photos with the scudetto, but then doesn’t bring buyers and plays at a low price without losing his salary. Now he’s quiet outside the squad and he’s also missing out on the African Cup. Big child”.

There are those, like Giovanni Carotenuto, who invites Adl to hit hard: “Service order: Monday 2 September at 9 am, Osimhen: mow the grass in Castelvolturno”. Azzurro88 also defends the number 1: “They are making the Osimhen case look like a failure, while for me it is a demonstration of the firmness of president De Laurentiis who is rarely put with his back to the wall”.

Maurizio Accardo is on the same wavelength: “A great show of strength towards agents and players who think they can call the shots. Napoli’s coffers are full thanks to careful management and De Laurentiis and Napoli can afford to display a Mirò in the bathroom”. Denise goes against the grain: “The decision to leave Osimhen out of the squad in favour of Lukaku is incomprehensible, maybe he’ll have a crazy season, but today it’s madness to give up one of the best strikers in the league”.
