“As a kid, my beloved team was Barcelona, featuring Samuel Eto’o,” Nigerian star striker Victor Osimhen once shared with the media, as reported by Diario Sport.
“It remains my favorite team,” the 24-year-old affirmed.
Is Osimhen subtly expressing his aspiration to join Barcelona through these words?
The player’s relationship with his current club, Napoli, has soured following a controversial TikTok post by the Serie A club. Osimhen is the latest to express admiration for Barcelona’s 2009 team, following Joao Cancelo’s lead.
In the previous season, Osimhen netted an impressive 31 goals and contributed with 5 assists in 39 appearances for Napoli. His outstanding performance played a pivotal role in guiding his team to claim the Serie A title and advance to the semifinals of the Champions League.
