Disaster to come for Napoli?

Napoli’s situation around Victor Osimhen could get even worse due to a scandal surrounding his transfer in 2020.

After reaching the heights last season by winning the Serie A title (the first in 33 years) and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League – the best performance in the club’s history – the Naples is having a complicated start to the season. On a sporting level, the Azzuri are light years away from their level of play last season although the large victory against Udinese (4-1) on Wednesday allowed them to join the top 5.

Osimhen, disgruntled scorer

A victory to which contributed Victor Osimhen by scoring his team’s second goal shortly before the break. An achievement that the Nigerian striker did not celebrate given the current situation with his club. After his clash with Rudi Garcia following his exit before the end of the match against Bologna on Sunday, the former Lille player would be furious because of a video posted on the account TikTok of Naples which he finds disrespectful to his image and for which he intends to file a complaint. Suffice it to say that the top scorer of the 2022-2023 Serie A season is in the news in Campania, and it could get even worse.

If we are to believe the information from the Gazzetta dello Sport this Thursday, the club could be exposed to serious sanctions regarding the transfer of the 24-year-old player, who arrived from LOSC for 75 million euros in 2020; The pink paper newspaper explains that Italian justice is currently investigating several transfers of the Italian champion, including that of Osimhen. Aurelio De Laurentiis would thus be accused of having carried out a financial arrangement by recording capital gains on the transfer in question. Like Juventus Turin last season, Napoli could be sanctioned with a withdrawal of points, or even total exclusion from Serie A. A descent into hell which could seriously hurt the club and its team. his supporters after a dream season.
