Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian superstar striker currently on loan at Galatasaray, has boldly declared his worth exceeds the €100m valuation, citing his exceptional achievements and skillset.
Osimhen’s assertion comes amidst lingering transfer speculation, particularly after Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain attempted to sign him during the last summer window.
The clubs were deterred by Napoli’s hefty €130m release clause, ultimately leading to Osimhen’s season-long loan move to Turkey.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Chelsea is plotting a £40m January swoop for the 25-year-old, sparking debate among fans.
While Napoli clarified that no negotiations are ongoing, Osimhen’s statement underscores his confidence in his market value.
In an interview with Tutto Sport, Osimhen emphasized, “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, on-pitch performances, and quality, adding, “I think I deserve a high valuation. I am aware of the contribution I can give to a team.”
Osimhen’s impressive start at Galatasaray, with two goals and four assists in four games, reinforces his claim.
His remarkable exploits at Napoli, including 26 league goals and the Serie A top scorer’s award, solidify his status as one of Europe’s premier strikers.
