Victor Osimhen

[dtxspurs]

For this one I can’t see Napoli willing to sell him which would be losing their top 3 scorers from last season.

De Laurentis under investigation for crime. The Osimhen sale

In Naples? Nah lol

 

[PCozzie]

Crime of false accounting for the purchase of Osimhen and three other players: Aurelio De Laurentiis was entered in the register of suspects by the Naples Public Prosecutor. The same offense is also challenged at the top of the Napoli Calcio Club. The Guardia di Finanza and the Public Prosecutor's Office carried out searches in Naples at the Castel Volturno and Rome offices and are investigating the sale that involved the Nigerian striker, who moved from Lille to Naples in 2020, and three other players, returned to the Osimhen operation with various formulas (they are Orestis Karnezis, Claudio Manzi, Luigi Liguori and Ciro Palmieri, whose evaluations have previously also ended up under the attention of the federal prosecutor). Other searches were carried out in France by the French police on the orders of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office.

n the press release issued by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office it is stated that the objective is to acquire documentation and other useful elements in relation to hypothesized illegal conduct connected to the sale and purchase of the rights to the sports performances of some players, which took place in the summer of 2020, between SSC Napoli Spa and the French club Losc Lille. The case concerning the transfer of the professional footballer Victor Osimhen, already the subject of a request for a European investigation order by the Public Prosecutor's Office JIRS (Juridiction Interrégionale Spécialisée - Specialized Interregional Jurisdiction) of the judicial court of Lille, led to the initiation of proceedings criminal also at this Prosecutor's Office."The investigations of the Economic-Financial Police Unit of Naples are aimed at executing the measures requested by the French investigating authority and those issued by the Naples Public Prosecutor" , concludes the note from the Public Prosecutor.

Sounds like we need to keep our powder dry. Might be able to pick him up cheap in the police auction at a warehouse just off the A12 outside Brentwood.

Di Laurentis committed some fraud in the Osimhen deal from Lille lol

As I keep saying, Italian clubs are literal jokes at best and most blur the lines between criminal and legal.

He literally heavily inflated the fee, plenty of articles on it. No wonder he is getting looked into.

Just the clubs? Joking...sort of

To be clear, I bloody love Italy, and the people are amazing...as is the food...just not their tax paying...and other things relating to the law....

In Naples? Nah lol

Horses head....

but if he scored more goals than one of the front three... then he would be guaranteed 1st team football week in week out

What was the said fee 75m?

Osimhen had had one very good season at Lille so for a club like Napoli to pay that supposed amount was insane and should have raised eyebrows.

I recall we were linked back then and it sounded like he'd be about up to 50m. Then when he moved it was absurd.

Tottenham are not planning to open talks over Gabriel Jesus transfer

Spurs transfer news: Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus looks destined to end up at a London club but it won't be the Lilywhites who have their priorities elsewhere

www.football.london

They are also known admirers of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, as first reported by football.london.

Maybe reading a bit too much into this but Gold, saying "first reported by football.london" makes me think this may have some legs in it and possibly something going on behind the scenes.

Time to bring out the Paratici 'loan to buy' special move!

Sorry I’m very late to this but is what’s being suggested here that Osimhen didn’t cost what he apparently cost and Napoli’s chairman pocketed some cash in the process?

The deal has long been a cause of controversy, as the official €70m transfer plus €10m in bonuses fee was only circa €50m in cash, the other €20m made up of goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis and three youth team players Luigi Liguori, Claudio Manzi and Ciro Palmieri.

The value of the youth team players immediately raised eyebrows, because they were given vastly inflated prices on the transfer market.

This caused even more controversy when the three players never actually wore the Lille jersey, as they were immediately loaned out to Serie C sides and their contracts were simply terminated a year later free of charge.

Pretty sure the 10 million add ons are very unrealistic also.

Wow, that’s very interesting. Thanks very much for the reply!

He would start at least every other match for us if we signed him, at the very least! Kane/Osimhen, Son/Osimhen, Son/Osimhen/Kulu, Osimhen/Son with Kane just behind would all be regular line ups with him in the squad. For me he’s the biggest young striker prospect in world football behind Haaland and Mbappe, next to Vlahovic

What’s the benefit for Napoli in doing that?
