Osimhen transfer from Lille under investigation

Start

Shortly after the Bianconeri were docked 15 points within the league as a result of the inflation of capital gains and covering losses within their financial statements, prosecutor Gisueppe Chiné has demanded that Napoli provide financial evidence of the transfer of Nigerian international Victor Osimhen from Lille.

The offer to the french outfits in the summer of 2020 was reportedly 72m plus €10m bonuses agreement, including €20m in player exchanges. The four players were goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, as well as three Napoli youth players who were immediately loaned out to lower division teams and then had their contracts terminated.

According to reports from La Reppublica, via Calciomercato Chiné is set to analyze the financial report regarding the deal as eyebrows have been raised regarding the lucrative block-buster transfer swoop.

With Prisma discovering numerous wiretap conversations within the camp in Turin following the investigation regarding the lack of financial transparency, it remains to be seen what will be discovered as I Partenopei are set to enter a similar process.
