What happened. Napoli have agreed to send Nosa Obaretin to Lorient on loan with an option to buy for €3.5m, after Sturm Graz had been in negotiations.

• Obaretin's contract with Napoli expires in June 2027, so it must be extended first.
• Lorient beat Sturm Graz, Genoa, and Udinese to the defender.
• The 23-year-old has never played in Serie A.

“We are trying to find a solution for him so that he can gets minutes in his legs and then be a protagonist for Napoli too.”

— Enzo Raiola

The loan with option to buy could become permanent if Lorient trigger the clause.
