There was mild drama as selfie-seeking Italian fans mobbed the Nigerian international as he left an arena inside his Mercedes Benz G-Wagon.

Scores of supporters were captured during the moment they surrounded the player’s luxury car in their bid to get selfies and autographs.

The 24-year-old Napoli striker was visibly upset following an encroachment that got some parts of his car scratched.

Osimhen fumed, yelling, “on my car! look at my car!”

Soccernet suggests that the player’s relationship with his club and fans has deteriorated since Napoli posted a controversial video on the player on their official TikTok account.

The Napoli striker had missed a penalty kick during their 0-0 draw with Bologna as the Partenopei dropped points again this season.

The club then shared the footage, which many condemned as the striker also deleted every Napoli-related picture on his Instagram handle.

Another clip surfaced on social media showing how Osimhen ignored a handshake from the club captain, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, after the striker had a touchline altercation with Rudi Garcia on the touchline after he was substituted.
