Nigerian international Victor Osimhen was filmed having an altercation with a fan in a nightclub.
The 25-year-old Napoli talisman was absent for Napoli’s Coppa Italia first-round fixture against Modena at the Stadio Maradona on Saturday night due to his unresolved future, with Napoli director Giovanni Manna confirming he had requested to leave the club.
A video posted by a TikTok user, Roberto Cerullo, showed the former Lille player at a famous nightclub in Naples.
In the video, Osimhen is seen pushing his way through the crowd, visibly furious about being caught, and approaching the fan in rage before the video abruptly ends.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Nigerian could face a fine because his manager, Antonio Conte, is known for discipline.
“The Napoli striker was the protagonist of an unpleasant altercation last night with a fan who, after recognising him, was filming him with his cell phone in a public place,” the website wrote.
“Nothing sensational, except that the striker disguised with a cap with a visor once he noticed the filming decided to push his way through the crowd to snatch the phone from the admirer’s hands.
“The player seemed rather annoyed, perhaps because he was caught late at night in Neapolitan nightlife,” the publication wrote.
Osimhen, who joined the Naples-based team from Lille in the 2020 summer for a club record fee of €70m plus another €10m in bonuses, has been earmarked as Chelsea’s top target after the Blues’ deal for Atletico Madrid’s Samuel Omorodion collapsed.
