Victor Osimhen has joined the Napoli squad ahead of their match against Udinese, but there were some concerning behavior observed at the team hotel.
As he arrived, Osimhen acknowledged team manager Giuseppe Santoro but deliberately snubbed his teammates, even refusing a handshake from Diego Demme.

This behavior seems to stem from Osimhen’s anger towards a TikTok video posted by the club, which mocked him for missing a penalty against Bologna.
In response, Osimhen has deleted all Napoli-related posts from his Instagram account, and his agent is considering legal action against the club for damaging his client’s reputation.
Despite the controversy, manager Rudi Garcia has chosen to include Osimhen in the matchday squad against Udinese, but it remains uncertain whether he will be in the starting lineup on Wednesday.
