Super Eagles’ star striker, Victor Osimhen, has seen a significant reduction in his transfer market valuation, with his worth dropping from €130 million to €75 million. This new valuation follows his move to Turkish champions Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli.
The Move to Galatasaray
At 25 years old, Victor Osimhen made headlines this summer when he completed a loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray. His impressive performances in the Serie A had previously earned him a valuation of €130 million, making him one of the most sought-after strikers in European football.
However, despite this move, a new report suggests that clauses within the loan deal have led to his market value decreasing to €75 million. Even with this drop, Osimhen remains the most valuable player in the Turkish Super Lig, according to the Transfer Market website.
Osimhen’s Place Among Turkey’s Elite
Despite the reduced valuation, Osimhen still holds the top spot in terms of player value in Turkey. His €75 million price tag places him well ahead of his competitors. The next most valuable players in the Turkish Super Lig are former Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri and Morocco World Cup star Sofiyan Amrabat, both valued at €22 million.
Failed Chelsea Bid
Part of Osimhen’s devaluation comes from Chelsea’s failed attempts to sign him this summer. The Premier League club was reportedly interested in securing his services, but negotiations fell through, leading to his move to Turkey instead.
Osimhen’s Future
Though his market value has taken a dip, Victor Osimhen continues to be a crucial figure in the Super Eagles setup and remains one of the most valuable African players in the world. His time at Galatasaray will be closely watched, as many expect him to make a strong impact in the Turkish Super Lig.
His loan spell in Turkey could also pave the way for future transfers, as top European clubs are likely to keep an eye on his performances, potentially pushing his value back up in the coming seasons.
General Reactions
Victor Osimhen’s transfer value may have dropped significantly, but his influence on the pitch remains undeniable. Whether at Napoli, Galatasaray, or elsewhere, Osimhen’s abilities as a top striker will continue to command attention and respect in the football world.
