• Victor Osimhen will not face any consequences after he had an altercation with a fan at a nightclub

Victor Osimhen is not expected to face any consequences following his altercations with a fan at a nightclub amid ongoing motions over his future at Napoli.

Osimhen and his representative have been exploring a move away from Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea among the interested clubs.

His £113 million release clause, which was inserted into the new deal he signed last year, has been the stumbling block, with clubs unwilling to trigger such a fee and Napoli not ready to bend.
