There have been ongoing talks for months about an investigation involving Napoli, headed by President Aurelio De Laurentiis, over a potential case of false capital gains concerning the Osimhen deal. This issue has been in the spotlight for quite some time, but it now appears that a conclusion may be near—a conclusion that, if confirmed, would prove disappointing for Napoli fans.

Luca Momblano announced this development on the TV show TeleLombardia, quoting sources from within his network: We learned sanctions for the Osimhen affair will be arriving. The federal prosecutor’s office has concluded its investigation. According to circulating rumours, sanctions will be handed down to the staff involved in this case. There is also talk about a likely points deduction.

Momblano’s colleague Giovanni Capuano echoed this view, stating: I have believed and maintained for at least three years now that Napoli should receive a penalty, and anyway, if a points deduction occurs, it will apply for next season. This is a situation to be closely monitored over the coming weeks, as it could significantly impact the balance of next year’s Serie A.
