Osimhen, 24, threatened legal action against his club yesterday via his agent after its official TikTok account posted a pair of videos mocking him for his penalty miss, which have since been deleted.
One clip referred to him as a “coconut” – widely seen as a racial slur.
Another featured the caption “gimme penalty please” and showed him then missing a spot-kick.
Arriving at the team hotel with EarPods in, the Nigerian was spotted shaking hands with team manager Guiseppe Santoro.

He appeared to blank team-mates Diego Demme and Piotr Zielinski, however.
After the controversial TikTok post, Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda confirmed in a statement: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.
“A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.
“A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.

“We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.”
The Napoli star was the subject of vile racist abuse by Verona fans during a match last season.
After the TikTok video was posted, Osimhen later deleted all but one reference to Napoli on his Instagram account.
The forward has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the past.
While PSG, Everton and Newcastle are also keen.

Onana left the Champions League finalists for Old Trafford in a £47million deal over the summer.
He was expected to solve United’s keeping woes following David de Gea’s underwhelming final season at the club.
But he has conceded 14 goals in just six matches thus far – including a howler against Bayern Munich in mid-week.
Sommer, meanwhile, has helped Inter to a sensational start in Serie A – conceding just one goal in their opening four matches, winning all of them.

Even that one concession came in the 5-1 derby day demolition of fierce rivals AC Milan.
The Mail claim that Sommer has shown “greater charisma” and “more patience” than Onana.
They even add that the Swiss veteran has looked better with his feet than Onana – a trait that the Ghanaian excels at.
Sommer joined Inter for around £5m from Bayern Munich.

He had only joined the German giants from Borussia Monchengladbach in January following Manuel Neuer’s long-term injury – snubbing United in the process.
Inter had been eager to sign Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli as their Onana replacement.
But after being turned down by Vicario in favour of Tottenham the Serie A side turned to Sommer.
Following Onana’s Bayern gaffe, Man United legend Rio Ferdinand called it a “nightmare”.
He said: “This is a nightmare scenario for Onana.
“He is as confident as you like with his feet but as a goalkeeper you are expected to come in and makes saves.
“It is a great bit of skill from (Leroy) Sane to set it up well but he doesn’t hit it with any real purpose. It is not wide of him, it is not in the corners.
“He should save this, he should be picking this up and looking for his next pass. It is a very, very bad mistake and one he needs to recover from.”
Following Inter’s 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad, meanwhile, boss Simone Inzaghi praised his goalkeeper – saying: “We did well to stay in it and are also grateful to Sommer, who played his part.”
