ASYD: Napoli are expected to finalise the details of the Victor Osimhen transfer on Monday, with Orestis Karnezis potentially part of the deal with Lille.

According to Sportitalia, Sky Sport Italia and the Corriere dello Sport, amongst others, we are down to the final paperwork for the 21-year-old striker.

Despite the reports in France and Nigeria of a deal worth €81m, in Italy they have never budged from the €60m mark and that does seem more realistic for Napoli.

Lille are likely to also accept a player as part of the deal and this morning’s reports point to third-choice goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.

The salary seems to have been agreed at a five-year contract worth €3.5m per season plus another €0.5m in bonuses.
