Lille president Olivier Letang has disclosed that the club received €7m from Victor Osimhen’s transfer to Napoli.
Osimhen joined the Partenopei in a highly publicized move in 2020.
As part of the deal, four Napoli players were transferred to Lille.
The four players never made an appearance for Lille, raising questions about the actual value of the transfer.
“The net amount, after factoring in the player’s purchase, four players valued at €20m but worth nothing, intermediaries, and commissions, was around €7m,” Letang told L’Equipe TV.
This disclosure comes as authorities in Italy and France investigate the transfer, although Napoli has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
