Nwabali Backs Osimhen Amid Transfer Controversy
Nigerian footballer Stanley Nwabali has shown support for Victor Osimhen after the striker’s attempts to leave Serie A club Napoli were unsuccessful.
Osimhen was keen to make a move before the transfer window closed, aiming for either Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli or Premier League side Chelsea. Unfortunately, both potential transfers fell through.
As a result of the failed transfers, Osimhen has been excluded from Napoli’s Serie A squad. This situation means he could be sidelined from club football until the new year, facing a challenging period away from competitive play.
Nwabali took to the X platform (formerly Twitter) to express his encouragement for Osimhen. He acknowledged the tough circumstances Osimhen is facing and highlighted the common struggles athletes endure.
In his message, Nwabali pointed out that every great athlete has their own unique story, complete with both positive and negative feedback from those who may not fully understand their experiences. He emphasized that criticism and praise are part of the journey for anyone in the spotlight.
Nwabali concluded his message by defining a myth as a story that endures over time. He used this metaphor to support Osimhen, referring to him by his nickname VO9, and suggesting that despite the current difficulties, Osimhen’s legacy and story will persist.
