Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has made a bold statement about his valuation, insisting he’s worth more than €100m. The 25-year-old, currently on loan at Galatasaray, believes his achievements and success warrant a higher price tag.
Osimhen’s comments come after a hectic summer transfer window where he was linked to top European clubs, including Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Liverpool. Chelsea and PSG were close to signing him, but the deal fell through due to his €130m release clause.
“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 said.
“Everything is linked to my characteristics, the things I do on the pitch, and my quality. I think I deserve a high valuation. I am aware of the contribution I can give to a team. Do people think differently? Some say €15m, others say 100-120-150. Everyone has different opinions.
“Osimhen has already made an impact at Galatasaray, scoring two goals and providing four assists in four games. His impressive form previously earned him the Serie A top scorer’s award and guided Napoli to their first Scudetto title in over three decades. With his market value likely to rise, Osimhen’s statement may spark further transfer speculation in the January window.
