Amidst Napoli’s quest for Serie A success, reports emerging from Corriere della Sera (via CN24) suggest a simmering discontent within the team’s dressing room, primarily directed at Victor Osimhen’s perceived preferential treatment.
“The players are reportedly not happy with the special treatment accorded to the Nigeria international despite his tantrums about a new deal and late return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations,” the report revealed.
Furthermore, there is palpable dissatisfaction over Osimhen’s consistent inclusion in the lineup despite concerns about his fitness. This has raised eyebrows among his teammates, adding fuel to the brewing tension.
In light of Napoli’s struggles this season, currently languishing in ninth place in the Serie A standings, the situation has only intensified the frustration among the squad.
The looming UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash against Barcelona further underscores the need for unity and focus within the team, as they navigate through these challenging times.
