Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has declared that he is worth over €100 million. In an interview with Italian sports publication TuttoSport, Osimhen expressed confidence in his abilities.
Osimhen also asserted his position among the world’s top footballers, emphasizing his belief that he is currently one of the best. The Super Eagles striker’s statement reflects his growing reputation and impressive performances in the football world.
The 25-year-old was key to Napoli’s Scudetto triumph two seasons ago, scoring 26 goals in Serie A.
It saw Osimhen also become the first African player to become the Capocannoniere.
However, last season, it was clear that Osimhen was going to part ways with Napoli. He was linked to PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Al Ahli, but the deal failed to materialize.
Eventually, he signed for Turkish giants Galatasaray on a season-long deal, after he was frozen out of Napoli’s squad for the season.
In his four games at the club, Osimhen has registered two goals and four assists.
And in a recent interview, Osimhen said: “I am worth more than 100 million euros. There are few players like me in the world who have achieved the same results and success as me.
“Everything is linked to my characteristics, the things I do on the pitch and my quality. I think I deserve a high valuation.
“I am aware of the contribution I can give to a team. Do people think differently? Some say 15 million euros, others say 100-120-150. Everyone has different opinions.”
