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

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

"You can have problems with the club, that’s understandable, but what do the fans have to do with it? They have given everything for you," Sosa stated. "He will regret this."
