Napoli Stands Firm: Denies Fraud Allegations in Osimhen Transfer Controversy
Napoli has denied fraudulent involvement in Osimhen’s transfer from LOSC Lille, staunchly standing firm against allegations of wrongdoing. President Aurelio De Laurentiis and the club’s legal team have adamantly refuted the accusations, emphatically emphasizing Napoli’s integrity throughout the process.
Delving into the intricate details of Osimhen’s transfer, Napoli has denied fraudulent involvement in Osimhen’s transfer and provided clarification on the figures involved, totaling €76,356,819, encompassing funds designated for four players: Ciro Palmieri, Orestis Karnezis, Luigi Liguori, and Claudio Manzi. However, scrutiny arises as only Orestis Karnezis had notable ties to Lille, thus casting doubt on the allocation of funds for the remaining players.
In his testimony, De Laurentiis maintained transparency, unequivocally asserting that the alleged false accounting in Osimhen’s transfer did not benefit Napoli in any manner. Napoli’s legal representatives underscored the club’s financial stability, firmly contending that fraudulent practices were unnecessary, as confirmed by investigations conducted by authorities in Naples and sporting bodies.
Thus, amidst Lille’s financial woes at the time of Osimhen’s transfer, Napoli’s robust financial position remained unwavering. The sale of Osimhen was not utilized as a financial lifeline for Napoli, given the club’s profitable operations and stable financial footing. De Laurentiis’ adept leadership has been pivotal in maintaining Napoli’s financial prudence, thereby highlighting the club’s unwavering commitment to integrity in all sporting transactions.
