Transfer: Lille claims they got only €7m from Osimhen’s move to Napoli

Lille president, Olivier Letang, has claimed the club earned just €7m from Victor Osimhen’s big move to Napoli in 2020.

Osimhen’s transfer was valued at over €70m at the time.

The Super Eagles striker’s move to the Serie A side included four Napoli players who never featured for Lille.

This has raised questions about the true value of the transfer.

“The net amount, considering the player’s purchase, four players valued at €20m, but who were worth nothing, intermediaries and commissions, was €7m, more or less,” Letang told L’Equipe TV.

The revelation comes amid investigations by authorities in Italy and France into the transfer, although Napoli have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
