Victor Osimhen Claims He’s Worth More Than €100m

Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker currently on loan at Galatasaray, has expressed that he is worth more than the €100m valuation placed on him. “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,” Osimhen told Tutto Sport. He believes his unique qualities and achievements justify a higher valuation, stating, “Everything is linked to my characteristics, the things I do on the pitch, and my quality. I think I deserve a high valuation.”

Osimhen was one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe during the summer transfer window, linked with top clubs like Manchester United, PSG, Juventus, and Liverpool. However, deals with Chelsea and PSG fell through due to his hefty €130m release clause, leading to his loan move to Turkey. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Chelsea is plotting a £40m January bid, though Napoli denies ongoing negotiations.

Osimhen has made an impressive start in Turkey, scoring two goals and providing four assists in four games. He previously joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 for a club-record fee of €70m and played a crucial role in Napoli’s 2022/23 Scudetto-winning season, earning the Serie A top scorer award with 26 league goals.
