Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen revealed the position of the Serie A champions during his trying time with the club, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
A mockery video of Osimhen’s missed penalty was published by the club’s official TikTok account for missing a penalty in the 0-0 draw against Bologna in September.
Osimhen at the time of the controversy threatened to the Napoli and his agent, Roberto Calenda pushing for legal action.
The 24 year-old is however keeping the TikTok chaos in the past and insisting neither the club nor President Aurelio De Laurentiis treated him badly.
“I must clarify something,” the former Lille star told the media after being crowned African Player of the Year.
“I was not treated badly by Napoli or De Laurentiis. I’m sorry to say this word, but it was a stupid error from somebody who thought he could use a thing like that to joke at a crucial moment.
“I was certainly not happy, but De Laurentiis, his son Edoardo and many at the club have supported me,” the striker continued.
“They explained the situation, and even the person responsible for it was really nice to me. That was the most important thing. I spoke to that person and he proved to be deeply sorry. Everything has been solved, so I am happy with them. Now I look to the future to leave it behind. This story belongs to the past.”
Osimhen has scored six goals in 14 appearances for the Serie A champions.
