Osimhen Snubs Napoli's Serie A Title Win, Sparking Fan Backlash

Napoli clinched their fourth Serie A title with a final-day victory over Cagliari, securing the league by a single point. The winning goals were scored by Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku, who stepped up to fill the void left by former stars Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Napoli fans celebrated the victory, with some taking the opportunity to troll Osimhen online, highlighting the team's success without the Nigerian striker.

The Serie A title marks Napoli’s second in three seasons. Despite Inter Milan's win against Como, Napoli maintained their narrow lead. This triumph is the first under new manager Antonio Conte, whose decisions included the controversial departure of Victor Osimhen, the previous season’s top scorer, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Romelu Lukaku's arrival was initially met with skepticism, but he proved crucial in Napoli's successful campaign.

While Napoli fans celebrated, they also aimed jibes at Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan last summer. Supporters mocked those who believed Napoli would struggle without him, with many social media posts celebrating the club’s victory. Osimhen, despite a successful season in Turkey, remained silent as his former team lifted the Serie A trophy.

Victor Osimhen has conspicuously remained silent following Napoli’s Serie A title win, refraining from congratulating his former club. Romelu Lukaku, who replaced Osimhen last summer, played a pivotal role in securing the Scudetto for Napoli. This title marks Napoli’s second in three seasons and has been celebrated by several of the club’s former stars.

The silence from Osimhen has drawn attention, especially considering his central role in Napoli’s previous success. Goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku secured the win against Cagliari. Conte’s reshaped squad, without Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, proved doubters wrong. Lukaku’s partnership with McTominay was particularly significant.

Compared to other former Napoli players like Dries Mertens, Fabian Ruiz, and Kvaratskhelia, who all posted tributes, Osimhen’s silence suggests lingering resentment over his departure from Napoli. His relationship with the club reportedly soured after a TikTok post and a summer departure lacking closure. Napoli fans also shaded Osimhen online, celebrating their success without him.
