Obaretin's Lorient loan: €3.5m option, Napoli gets future cut

Journalist Alfredo Pedullà announced on his YouTube channel that central defender Obaretin, who was a step away from joining Genoa, is moving to Lorient on a loan with a €3.5 million purchase option, while Napoli will retain a percentage of any future resale. The arrangement suggests Napoli is looking to profit from a potential later transfer.

The original post contained the tag Stampa A− A+ embedded in the script, with the fragment ‘if(dim Il giornalista’ appearing before the commentary. The code snippet also references the variable ‘dim’ and a click function, unrelated to the transfer details.

Pedull’s channel featured Pedullà saying, “Vi volevo dare delle cifre, perché tutti i trasferimenti sono importanti, di Obaretin al Lorient…”, indicating he wanted to share the numbers. He clarified that the figures had been cross‑checked elsewhere before being reported.

The loan includes a right to purchase for €3.5 million and grants Napoli a future resale percentage, as Pedullà reiterated. The deal positions Lorient as the next step for the young centre‑back, while Genoa remains out of the picture.
