The transfer of Osimhen, who is on loan at the Super Lig giant Galatasaray, from Lille to Napoli in 2020 has been taken to the judicial authorities.
ALLEGATIONS OF CORRUPTION
It was reported that there was corruption regarding the payments for the transfer of the Nigerian star at that time, and as a result, a raid was conducted on the Napoli club's branch. Osimhen, who was transferred from Lille to Napoli for 77 million Euros in 2020, was involved in allegations of corruption regarding payments at that time, leading to a raid on the Napoli club's branch.
The transfer of Osimhen to Napoli in 2020 has been taken to the judicial authorities. The French and Italian justice systems took up the case, and while investigating Napoli's possible accounting fraud, the Lille prosecutor's office also conducted a search at the club's offices in Domaine de Luchin.
In the summer of 2020, searches were also conducted at Napoli's offices in Castel Volturno and Rome to collect useful documents related to illegal activities allegedly connected to the transfer of some players. Lille's new president, Olivier Letang, repeatedly condemned the previous administration's financial mismanagement and shared details as a guest on the L'Equipe du Soir program.
"7 MILLION ENTERED THE CLUB'S COFFERS"
Olivier Letang stated regarding the matter, "The net income from Osimhen's sale was not 68 million, because we must not forget that there were 4 players who cost 20 million, so the value was effectively zero. Therefore, if we evaluate the operation including all agents' fees, capital gains, and commissions, approximately 7 million entered the club's coffers."
Lille made much more money with Carlos Baléba, Amadou Onana, Sven Botman, and Leny Yoro during training. Much more, because we did not pay any commission, brokerage, or any other payment to these players. All the money went into the club's coffers."
