Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has boldly stated that he is worth more than his €100m valuation, citing his unique achievements in football. The 25-year-old Nigerian international, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in the spotlight following a summer filled with transfer speculation linking him to top European clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Liverpool.
Osimhen was one of the most sought-after strikers during the summer transfer window, with Chelsea and PSG reportedly coming close to signing him. However, negotiations fell apart due to his hefty €130m release clause, resulting in a season-long loan move to Turkish side Galatasaray as the final option.
Amid rumors of a potential £40m January bid from Chelsea, reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Osimhen addressed his market value, asserting that he is worth far more. Speaking to Tutto Sport, the current African Player of the Year expressed confidence in his worth, saying, “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.”
Despite Napoli’s insistence that no negotiations are ongoing, reports suggest Chelsea may still be preparing a move for Osimhen. Fans, however, have labeled the rumored £40m valuation as far below the striker’s true worth, given his consistent performances and high profile in European football.
