Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is set to stand trial over allegations of false accounting linked to Victor Osimhen’s transfer from Lille. Italian authorities claim that the financial records for the deal may have been manipulated, especially regarding the valuation of some players involved in the exchange. The case has raised fresh questions about transparency in football transfers.

Investigators believe the reported figures used in the Osimhen deal did not match the actual value of the players, suggesting the club may have inflated numbers to meet financial rules. De Laurentiis has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that Napoli followed all legal and financial procedures during the negotiation.

The upcoming trial is expected to attract major attention from both Serie A followers and football analysts. Osimhen’s transfer remains one of the most expensive deals involving an African player, making the case even more significant. Fans are waiting to see how the legal process will affect the club and whether penalties could follow if wrongdoing is proven.

For now, Napoli continues its normal operations, while De Laurentiis prepares to defend himself in court. The club has expressed confidence that the truth will be revealed. The trial could set a new standard for how football financial investigations are handled in Italy.
