Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen’s club, Napoli, president Aurelio De Laurentiis has tested positive for the Covid-19 a day after taking part in a Serie A meeting for club bosses, the team confirmed on Thursday.
The 71-year-old De Laurentiis received the positive result from a test taken on Wednesday, said Napoli.
But the Serie A club did not provide further details.
Serie A hosted Wednesday’s meeting with representatives from the league’s 20 clubs in Milan.
It was decided the league should form a new company, with the help of external investors, to market media rights.
Potential consequences of De Laurentiis’ infection for the Napoli team were not immediately clear.
