[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)<br>Italian police have raided two Napoli offices as part of a corruption investigation surrounding Victor Osimhen's [transfer](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-governance/super-eagles-promised-record-bonus-for-2026-world-cup-qualification/) from Lille. The inquiry, conducted in collaboration with French authorities, seeks to uncover discrepancies in the reported €70 million deal completed four years ago.

<br>Former Lille President Olivier Létang revealed that the French club received only €7 million from the high-profile transfer. He explained that the [deal involved](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/stadiums-and-facilities/10-reasons-caf-approved-remo-stars-stadium-ikenne-for-champions-league/) Napoli transferring four players valued at €20 million to Lille, significantly reducing the French club's financial benefits. Factoring in agency fees and commissions, the transaction’s net value appeared to be negligible.

<br>Létang made these statements in an interview with L’Équipe, prompting intensified scrutiny of the deal. This is not the first time questions have been raised about the Osimhen transfer, with the French government previously investigating the case.

<br>Editorial
<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>The raid on Napoli’s offices is a stark reminder of the complexities and controversies that can surround high-stakes football transfers. As fans and stakeholders, we must grapple with the fact that financial irregularities increasingly shadow the beautiful game.

<br>We believe this the urgent need for transparency and stricter oversight in [transfer](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/health-and-fitness/) dealings. Victor Osimhen’s remarkable talent should have been the central story, but now his career risks being overshadowed by off-field controversies.
<br>
<br>Such investigations are necessary to restore trust in football’s administrative structures. Clubs, agents, and governing bodies must collaborate to ensure fair practices, focusing on the integrity of the sport rather than [profit-driven motives](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-events-and-tournaments/noah-adedeji-sternberg-scores-on-full-debut-as-genk-triumphs/). The Napoli case should serve as a wake-up call for reforms, setting a precedent for cleaner operations across the industry.

<br>Did You Know?
Victor Osimhen’s transfer to Napoli was one of the most expensive deals for an African footballer at the time.
Financial Fair Play regulations were introduced by UEFA in 2011 to prevent financial misconduct in football.
The four players included in the Osimhen deal reportedly had little impact at Lille, [raising questions](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-events-and-tournaments/noah-adedeji-sternberg-scores-on-full-debut-as-genk-triumphs/) about their valuation.
Napoli previously faced scrutiny for financial matters, including alleged irregularities in other transfer deals.
Lille, known for developing young talent, has a history of selling players at high profits, making the Osimhen case an anomaly.
