Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen has signed for Serie A side Napoli from French outfit Lille, the two clubs announced on Friday.
ROME: Victor Osimhen has signed for Napoli after the Serie A side splashed out a club record fee of up to €80 million to sign the Nigeria forward from French outfit Lille.
"It's €70 million to be paid over five years and 10 million euros of bonuses according to certain results," the Gazzetta reported De Laurentiis as saying. The total fee would make Osimhen, 21, one of the most expensive players in Serie A history, and is almost double Napoli's previous club record of around €40 million paid for Gonzalo Higuain in 2013 and Hirving Lozano last year.His move to Napoli had been widely reported for weeks, but De Laurentiis told Gazzetta that the transfer had been held up by Osimhen firing his two agents and hiring a new one.
