Galatasaray’s renowned striker Victor Osimhen confidently claims that his abilities are worth a price tag of over €100 million. Having recently expressed his belief in an interview, the Super Eagles star is convinced of his value in the football market. Despite his ambitions to join a top club in Europe, Osimhen had to settle for a loan spell at Galatasaray after failing to secure a transfer before the European market closed.
The main reason for his failure to join the much-desired big European clubs is the refusal of those teams to match the amount demanded by Napoli to transfer him. When extending his contract in 2023, the Neapolitan club stipulated a €130 million release clause, a sum that put off suitors such as Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking recently, the 25-year-old was confident about his price tag, claiming he was worth well over €100 million. “I am worth over €100 million,” he said. “There are few players like me in the world who have achieved this level of style and success. It’s all about my characteristics, what I do, my quality. I think I deserve it. I am aware of the contribution I can make and what I am capable of doing, even in my private life. Do people have different opinions? Some say €15 million, others say €100-120-150. Everyone has their own opinion.”
A Manchester United legend agrees with Osimhen on what he thinks he is worth and recently encouraged the Red Devils to spend big on him.
Victor Osimhen, with his undeniable talent, continues to make waves in the European football market. His confidence in his value and his potential promises a bright future for this player in search of recognition on a global scale.
