Naples is going through a zone of turbulence. Author of a mixed start to the season on a sporting level with results at odds with the objectives set, the reigning Italian champion must also manage the thorny case of Victor Osimhen internally. Silent for four matches with the Partinopei, the Nigerian striker has clashed with his club, the fault of a mocking video publication on TikTok which greatly displeased the main person concerned.

While he threatens to file a complaint against Naples, the Nigerian international (27 caps, 20 goals) is at the center of a new controversy in Italy. According to the revelations of the Gazzetta dello Sport, Italian justice is investigating several transfers deemed suspicious in Italy, including the one involving the 24-year-old player and his president, Aurelio De Laurentiis. The transalpine leader is accused of financial arrangements and of having recorded capital gains during the transfer of the native of Lagos from LOSC in 2020. In addition, the Campania club is exposed to heavy sanctions, ranging from simple fine for withdrawal of points, or even exclusion from Serie A.
