Napoli forward Victor Osimhen recently found himself in a heated altercation with a fan at a nightclub on Sunday night.

The 25-year-old, whose future with the club remains uncertain due to Napoli's firm stance on their asking price, was seen angrily confronting a fan who was filming him at a nightclub in the Campania capital.

In a 16-second video, Osimhen can be seen pushing through the crowd to snatch the phone from the fan's hands.

Victor Osimhen faces likely fine from Napoli boss Conte

According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, Victor Osimhen is expected to face a fine following his recent nightclub altercation. Napoli's manager, Antonio Conte is known for his strict stance on discipline, and this incident is unlikely to go unnoticed by the manager.

The Nigeria international is reportedly frustrated by the uncertainty surrounding his future, with links to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) failing to materialise into firm offers.

With just over two weeks remaining in the summer transfer window, none of these clubs have met the Nigerian international's release clause of €130 million.

Although he has joined Napoli for pre-season, he has yet to appear in any of the club’s friendlies. Reports suggest that Osimhen has submitted a transfer request, adding to the growing tension as the transfer deadline approaches.
