Napoli ultras sent a harsh message to Victor Osimhen as his transfer to Galatasaray looks to become permanent, calling him a \u2018peasant.\u2019<\/p>\n

The striker made his name with the Partenopei after the \u20ac80m transfer from Lille in 2020, but declared last summer that he would never again play for the club.<\/a><\/p>\n

When none of the big teams came in for him, the Nigeria international joined Galatasaray on loan as a stop-gap solution.<\/p>\n

Now he is trying to force through a full transfer to Istanbul for \u20ac75m, even handing in a medical note to avoid attending Napoli\u2019s pre-season training camp.<\/p>\n

Osimhen attitude irritated Napoli fans\"OsimhenOsimhen Napoli banner<\/p>\n

With that gesture in mind, ultras representing the Curva A<\/a> of the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona sent a message with a banner today.<\/p>\n

\u201cOsimhen, ignorance will always be the ruling element in your life\u2026 Peasant, remember that Maradona played here!\u201d<\/p>\n

It is now a countdown to the final exit of the player from Napoli, although they are insisting that Galatasaray accept a clause forcing them to pay a hefty penalty if Osimhen moves back to Serie A within two years.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is squarely aimed at Juventus, who had been heavily linked with an offer for the 2023 African Player of the Year, much to the fury of Napoli.<\/p>\n
