Napoli fans are not letting things go after they parted ways with Victor Osimhen and have been warned by a top fan to stop crying over a ship that has sailed.

Osimhen left the club on acrimonious terms in September following a prolonged summer transfer window in which he failed to secure a move away from the club.

His relationship with the club deteriorated starting when the club's official Tiktok account trolled him after a penalty miss, and he decided he would leave last summer.

Osimhen is on a season-long loan at Galatasaray, and from there, he will seek a permanent exit from Napoli. He has started brightly in Turkey and continues to attract interest.

The Neapolitans have kept an eye on him and have been comparing his performances to Romelu Lukaku, who Antonio Conte signed to replace him.

Italian author and Napoli fan Maurizio de Giovanni has told the fans to stop obsessing over the Nigerian as he is no longer one of them.

“It’s useless talking about Osimhen: he wanted to leave; there is no point in regretting it, it is pure self-harm,” he told Vikonos Web Radio/TV, as quoted by Tutto Napoli.
