Napoli goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis has completed his transfer to Lille as part of the deal taking Victor Osimhen to the Stadio San Paolo.
The Osimhen deal was officially worth €80m, but that is believed to be €50m in cash, plus another €10m in bonuses, and ownership of Karnezis with three youth team players.
While Karnezis makes the move to Lille, the youth players are expected to remain on loan at Napoli.
“I am very happy to be a Lille player,” Karnezis told the official club website.

“I am very happy to be a Lille player,” Karnezis told the official club website.
“After Greece, Italy, Spain and England, now I will discover the French League as well. It’s quite rare for a player to have experienced all those competitions.
“I am proud to be here at a club that grows year on year.”
The 35-year-old Greece international was Napoli’s third choice goalkeeper, previously playing for OFI Crete, Panathinaikos, Udinese, Granada and Watford.
