Napoli officially confirmed the transfer of Victor Osimhen

The lengthy negotiations between Napoli and Lille have finally come to an end. The clubs came to an agreement on the transfer of Victor Osimhen. SSC Napoli officially confirmed the transfer of Victor Osimhen. The Nigeria striker will join the ranks of the team from Vesuvius. His rivals for a place in the squad will be Dries Mertens, Andrea Petagna, and Arkadiusz Milik. For the latter, Osimhen’s transfer probably means a long-awaited change of club colors.

The transfer of Victor Osimhen on its website seemed that we would see the official information about the Nigerian’s move two weeks earlier. There was a lot of uncertainty around the entire transaction. The player was to consider moving to the Premier League. Today, fortunately for the fans of Napoli, everything has come true.

The transfer amount is 50 million euros and an additional 10 in bonuses. This is a record transfer for Napoli. To date, the most expensive transaction in the club’s history was Gonzalo Higuain, brought in for 39 million euros. Hirving Lozano’s transfer from PSV drops to third place 38 million.

It is also the second most expensive club transfer in Lille’s history. They only got more money for Nicolas Pepe, a current Arsenal player.

However, last season, Osimhen played in 38 matches, scoring 18 goals (13 in the league) and 6 assists. The player has already been greeted on Twitter by Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis. The striker signed a 5-year contract. He will earn around EUR 4 million a year.
