Napoli’s deal for Victor Osimhen is done. The official announcements are forthcoming to complete the striker’s move from Lille to Napoli.
On Tuesday morning the azzurri defined the last elements related to Osimhen’s new agents. That deal was completed, alongside the already completed deal with Lille.
The French club will receive €50m payable over five years, plus bonuses tied principally to Napoli’s future progression in the Champions League (from quarterfinal through trophy winners), essentially a percentage of prize earnings Napoli would get from UEFA.
Osimhen will sign a contract worth around an average of €4m after taxes per season plus bonuses. Napoli’s Karnezis, if he approves of the destination, will move to Lille but in any case the deal is a different one with respect to Osimhen’s transfer.
Once the signing is made official by the Italian side, Victor Osimhen will be the most expensive African player in world football.
The Nigerian’s move from Lille ought to have been finalised in the past week but important paper works slowed down the move.
