Some Napoli stars are reportedly unhappy with the preferential treatment CAF Men's Player of the Year Victor Osimhen is receiving in comparison to them.

Things do not seem to be going well for Gli Azzurri at the moment.
The club started off poorly this season, following the departure of previous manager Luciano Spalletti.
Rudi Garcia, who succeeded the Italian, was fired and replace by Walter Mazzarri in November, but the team has not fared any better since, with the 20233/23 Italian champions currently languishing in ninth position.
While the bad run of form is concerning, there seems to be bigger problems within the dressing room.
According to Corriere della Sera, some players at the SSCN Konami Training Centre are unhappy with the special treatment Nigeria talisman Osimhen has been getting.
It is claimed that despite the "tantrum" he threw over a new deal, and the fact that he returned late from the Africa Cup of Nations, the striker still gets into the team regularly.
Meanwhile, players such as Elif Elmas are being made to train alone after seeking a move away, while Piotr Zielinski has been threatened with exclusion from the squad because of his refusal to extend his deal with the club in order to join Inter Milan next term.

All these factors have presumably made it hard for either Garcia or Mazzarri to succeed at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and now the latter is expected to be fired just days before their crucial UEFA Champions League round of 16 clash against Barcelona.
