- Victor Osimhen fell out with Rudi Garcia after being substituted at the weekend
- He was mocked by his own club in a TikTok video posted on Tuesday
Victor Osimhen‘s relationship with Napoli has completely broken down and his career in Italy appears to be coming to an end. Napoli may try to talk their star forward around over the coming hours, but their chances of winning him over look slim.
The TikTok video mocking Osimhen and comparing him to a ‘coconut’ after his missed penalty in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Bologna has been labelled ‘unacceptable’ by his agent, with legal action being considered, and has created a major rift between the player and the club.
There is a lot of anger at the moment, and the timing could not be much worse as Napoli face a crucial game against Udinese tonight, with the pressure ramping up on manager Rudi Garcia after a stuttering start to the season.
Just four months after leading Napoli to their first league title in 33 years, Osimhen has lost faith in the club he has remained fiercely loyal to.
He has turned down the huge financial packages on offer in Saudi Arabia, and rejected the advances of some of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich and Newcastle.
Now, he feels abandoned and betrayed after being mistreated by his manager and mocked by his own club on social media.
ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Victor Osimhen has fallen out with manager Rudi Garcia and been mocked by his own club… his relationship with Napoli looks beyond repair, and offers from the Middle East and Europe are now likely to flood in

Mason Mount showed he can be a game changer forManchester United
Osimhen thought he was loved in Naples, but recent events have made him question this, and whether he is still considered the team’s leading player or just a useful one that is no longer indispensable.
Garcia under pressure already
The problem with Garcia is very serious.
The French coach wanted to make his mark after replacing Luciano Spalletti in the summer, but his forced substitutions and questionable tactical decisions have only created negativity in the media and the dressing room.
Osimhen is a charismatic leader within the squad, but was furious at being taken off when Napoli were chasing a winner against Bologna on the weekend.
He felt it was a clear sign that his role has diminished under Garcia, and that he was being undermined in front of the whole team, while being replaced was also not good for his self-confidence after a difficult start to the campaign.
Garcia taking off his best player created a tension within the dressing room that wasn’t necessary.
Garcia has only rewarded captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo since arriving, and is not getting best out of Osimhen with his tactical and technical decisions that are difficult to understand.
Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is also not happy with the treatment he has received from Garcia, but the issue with Osimhen is more concerning as his relationship with Garcia is hanging by a thread and he has now been targeted in a TikTok video by his own club.
