Sundiata Post – Victor Osimhen’s social media outburst against former Nigeria International Finidi George has drawn widespread attention within the Nigerian football community, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen was reportedly accused of faking an injury ahead of the Super Eagles’ 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic.
It was alleged that Finidi stated he would not beg a player to join the team. In response, Osimhen took to Instagram Live to address the issue, but also made offensive remarks towards his supposed Super Eagles coach.
This incident is not the first time Osimhen has publicly lashed out at someone via social media. Such behaviour has occurred on several occasions, often involving his managers.
This pattern of conduct could make potential suitors reconsider pursuing the striker, despite his talent drawing interest from top European clubs.
Osimhen has been linked with a €120 million move away from Napoli, despite signing a contract extension with the club. He has reportedly rejected a return to Ligue 1, where Paris Saint-Germain showed interest, and Chelsea is reconsidering a potential purchase due to his injury record. This latest outburst further complicates his potential transfer.
Previously, Osimhen had a heated altercation with Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti, and now his conflict with Finidi stresses his tendency to publicly disrespect his bosses.
