There are multiple reports in France and Italy that Napoli have finalised all the paperwork for Victor Osimhen, with a youth team player going to Lille.


Sky Sport Italia, RMC Sport, Tuttomercatoweb and more all maintain the final contracts have been signed, as they were waiting to resolve an issue with his agent.

It was more to do with timing than the precise cash sums involved in commissions.

Now it's up to Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis to announce the deal, as is his tradition, on Twitter.

Goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis is already reported to be making the move to Lille as part of the deal.

Today, multiple sources point to Napoli youth team defender Claudio Manzi also joining Lille this summer.

The usual debate remains over exactly how much this operation will cost, as Italian sources are adamant it’s €50m plus up to €10m in bonuses.

In France and Nigeria, they continue to insist it’s €81m including bonuses.
