Victor Osimhen’s transfer from Napoli continues to evoke strong reactions from fans and stakeholders of the Italian club.

The prominent forward found himself at the centre of what can be described as the biggest transfer saga of the recent summer window.

The 25-year-old, who seemed intent on leaving the Neapolitan outfit, was linked with several clubs both within Europe and beyond.

However, despite the speculation, a transfer did not materialise. Just when it appeared that Osimhen would remain at Napoli, a report from Corriere dello Sport detailed Galatasaray's interest in the forward.

A deal was swiftly negotiated, and a loan transfer was finalised. In the wake of his move to the Turkish club, former Serie A star, Roberto Sosa, has urged Osimhen to apologise to Napoli fans, given the circumstances surrounding his departure.

In an interview captured by Score Nigeria, the former Napoli and Udinese star emphasised the importance of Osimhen issuing an apology.

Sosa pointed out that Osimhen’s issues at Napoli were primarily with the club’s hierarchy, not the fans. He noted that the supporters had consistently shown love for the forward and deserved better treatment in return.

Osimhen spent four successful seasons at Napoli, leading the club to its first Italian Serie A title since 1990 and contributing over 85 goals during his tenure.
