Manchester United and Chelsea may have felt that they had a lifeline in their pursuits of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen after the player’s agent threatened legal action against his club over a video that was posted on social media. Napoli’s TikTok account appeared to mock Osimhen in a bizarre video after he missed a penalty in one of their recent matches. This came after Osimhen fired Napoli to the Serie A title last year and stayed with the club, despite interest from a host of top teams including United and Chelsea. Spanish outlet SPORT reported a previous comment that Osimhen made regarding Barcelona: "When I was young, my favourite team was Barca because of Samuel Eto'o. And it is still my favourite team."
