Reports have emerged that Edoardo De Laurentiis, the vice-president of Napoli and son of the president Aurelio De Laurentiis, has been subjected to death threats linked to the transfer of Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray.
According to Turkish journalist Samet Çayir, a series of WhatsApp messages were disclosed, showing communications between a purported Galatasaray supporter and Edoardo De Laurentiis, in which the supporter warned of serious repercussions should Osimhen not be allowed to move.
The supporter allegedly claimed to be affiliated with the ‘Turkish mafia’ and issued threats against the De Laurentiis family, prompting them to lodge a police complaint.
Napoli and Galatasaray have been locked in long-drawn negotiations over a permanent transfer of Osimhen to the Turkish champions.
A section of Galatasaray fans has accused Napoli President De Laurentiis of being the main stumbling block that the transfer has yet to be finalised.
I support the fan on this, Napoli want to frustrate osimhen career.
