Napoli Move: Koulibaly Confirms Osimhen’s Enquiry About Racism

Ahead of a potential switch to the Stadio San Paolo outfit, Lille striker Victor Osimhen has made an enquiry about racism in Italy.

The Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly who confirmed this said Victor called him inquiring about the rate of racism in the country, and he assured him of his safety.

The Senegal international, who has experienced racist abuse in the European country, revealed the advice he gave to Osimhen when he reached out to him.

“It is true that he called me. We talked about racism, I told him that coming to Naples he won’t have these problems, he will choose the right city,” Koulibaly told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“I too felt the bitterness of the racist insult, but never in Naples. I reassured him; I told him that if he comes, he will have the best choice. Then, the rest will have to be done by the leaders.”
