Nigerian Lille striker Victor Osimhen, one of the big revelations of the 2019-2020 season in Ligue 1, signed on for Napoli on Friday, the two clubs announced.
The 21-year-old Osimhen scored 18 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions last season with Losc.
Neither club gave financial details of the operation, the amount of which is estimated in very different ways depending on the sources.
Sources close to the case in Lille assured AFP that the transfer was concluded against 70 million euros plus 10 bonus. This sum corresponds to that mentioned by other French media such as L'Equipe or RMC, which speak of 80 or 81 million euros including bonus.
In Italy, the media put forward smaller figures, between 50 million euros and bonuses and 60 million.
The arrival of Osimhen should in any case be the biggest investment in the history of Napoli who, except to win the current edition, will not participate in the next Champions League.
