The maneuver may have been done to inflate the club’s trade balance. It is worth remembering that Juventus was punished this season after being accused of fraud, losing 15 points in the current edition of the Italian Championship.
The main person investigated by the authorities is the current president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis. His lawyer, Fabio Fulgeri, told Italian radio CRC that there is no possibility of the club being punished like Juventus.
“The Osimhen case cannot be compared to the Juventus case, Napoli did not do business like Juventus. If no new elements emerge, everything should end well, ”he said.
With 50 points from 19 matches, Napoli are isolated at the top of the table. The team returns to play for the Italian Championship on Sunday (29), in a duel against Roma at home, at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
