Akatugba said that the 24-year-old is now keen on leaving, feeling disrespected.
“It’s incredible that your club’s official account makes fun of you for a missed penalty,” Akatugba told Sport Mediaset.
“Now what are the consequences? That Napoli will lose Victor Osimhen.
“He will not renew his contract and will want to leave as soon as possible.
“I say this as a journalist, I don’t speak for him, I only say what is inevitable. Osimhen will leave as soon as possible, no team makes fun of its best player.
“I don’t believe that we are talking about racism and I don’t believe that Napoli are, but it is a shame, unacceptable, a great lack of respect, it is ridiculous and it is a gross mistake.
“We are talking about the best striker in Italy, candidate for the Ballon d’Or and the best player in Serie A.”
