Italian police have raided two Napoli offices as part of a corruption investigation surrounding Victor Osimhen’s transfer from Lille. The inquiry, conducted in collaboration with French authorities, seeks to uncover discrepancies in the reported €70 million deal completed four years ago.
Former Lille President Olivier Létang revealed that the French club received only €7 million from the high-profile transfer. He explained that the deal involved Napoli transferring four players valued at €20 million to Lille, significantly reducing the French club’s financial benefits. Factoring in agency fees and commissions, the transaction’s net value appeared to be negligible.
Létang made these statements in an interview with L’Équipe, prompting intensified scrutiny of the deal. This is not the first time questions have been raised about the Osimhen transfer, with the French government previously investigating the case.
