Neither club officially gave details of the transfer, but a source from Lille who was familiar with the transfer told AFP that the Ligue 1 team would receive 70 million euros ($82.8 million) with add-ons potentially worth 10 million euros.

Osimhen has set high standard for Nigerian players โ€“ Elaho Why Osimhen signed for Napoli despite โ€˜racism fearโ€™ Italian media report, however, that Napoli have shelled out 50 million euros before add-ons.

Either figure would be a club-record transfer fee paid by Napoli. Osimhen, 21, scored 18 times last season and was one of the revelations of Franceโ€™s curtailed campaign. He will wear the No.9 jersey at the Serie A side. (DailyTrust)
