Lille CEO Letang confirms Osimhen's transfer fee to Napoli

The Super Eagles star left Stade Pierre-Mauroy in a big-money move to continue his career in Naples in July 2020

Napoli paid Lille €68 million for the permanent signing of Victor Osimhen, club president Olivier Letang has confirmed.

Letang who succeeded Gerard Lopez as Lille CEO last December, dismissed reports that the Ligue 1 champions collected €81m for the Nigeria international in July 2020.

Osimhen joined Napoli on a five-year contract after his outstanding debut season in the French top-flight where he won the 2020 Prix Marc-Vivien Foe.
