Napoli Striker Osimhen: I’m Worth More Than €100m
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, has boldly declared his worth, stating he’s valued at more than €100m. This assertion comes after a hectic summer transfer window where top European clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Liverpool, vied for his signature.
Osimhen’s current club, Napoli, set a €130m release clause, which deterred potential buyers. Chelsea and PSG attempted to sign him but ultimately settled for a loan move to Galatasaray due to the steep price tag.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed Chelsea is planning a £40m January swoop for Osimhen, sparking debate among fans who deem the price tag insufficient for the Africa Player of the Year.
In response, Osimhen confidently stated, “I am worth more than €100m. There are few players like me in the world who have achieved the same results and success as me.” He attributed his valuation to his unique characteristics, work ethic, and quality.
Osimhen has already made an impact at Galatasaray, scoring two goals and providing four assists in four games. His impressive performance in Turkey follows his successful stint at Napoli, where he guided the team to their first Scudetto title in over three decades, scoring 26 league goals and earning the Serie A top scorer’s award.
Napoli initially signed Osimhen from Lille in 2020 for €70m plus €10m in bonuses. His market value has significantly increased since then, solidifying his position as one of Europe’s top strikers.
Osimhen’s assertion underscores his confidence in his abilities and his awareness of his value to potential suitors. As the January transfer window approaches, his statement may spark renewed interest from top clubs willing to meet his valuation.
