'The love is fake for Osimhen in Italy' BBC Africa
Napoli said they "never meant to offend or mock" Victor Osimhen in a social media post but stopped short of publicly apologising to him.
The club shared a video on their TikTok account of Nigeria's Osimhen missing a penalty, dubbed with a high-pitched voice saying "gimme penalty please".
The 24-year-old's agent has threatened legal action against the club.
But what do Nigerian football fans think about how their star man is being treated?
