Nigerian music executive Soso made headlines by engaging in a video call with football star Victor Osimhen.
The call, which was shared widely on social media, highlighted the strong bond between the entertainment and sports industries in Nigeria. Soso, known for his influence in the music scene, expressed his support for Osimhen during a challenging period in the footballer's career.
The Transfer Saga
Victor Osimhen's transfer saga has been one of the most talked-about stories in football this year. The Nigerian striker, who played a pivotal role in Napoli's Serie A triumph, found himself at the center of intense transfer speculation. Despite his impressive performances, Osimhen's future at Napoli became uncertain due to a series of events that unfolded over the summer.
Osimhen was linked with several top clubs, including Chelsea and Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli. However, negotiations failed to materialize into a concrete move. Napoli's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, had initially encouraged Osimhen to stay, even negotiating a contract extension that significantly increased his salary. Despite these efforts, tensions rose when Osimhen deleted almost all pictures of himself in Napoli's shirt from his social media accounts after the club posted a mocking video of him online.
Exclusion from the Squad
The situation took a dramatic turn when Napoli's new manager, Antonio Conte, decided to exclude Osimhen from the first team. Conte, known for his strict managerial style, made it clear that there would be no reintegration for players who were not part of his plans. This decision came after Osimhen's failed transfer attempts and was seen as a punitive measure by the club.
Osimhen's exclusion from the squad has left him in a state of limbo. With no immediate prospects of a transfer and being sidelined from first-team activities, the Nigerian forward faces an uncertain future. Conte's firm stance has further complicated matters, as he emphasized that the club's decisions were final and that they would not reconsider their position.
