Market Value: Leading Despite a Decrease

After scoring 24 goals and assists in his debut season in Belgium, Victor Osimhen signed with Lille OSC, and his transfer fee increased 13-fold. Becoming a key player in France, the forward moved to Italy just one season later, and his transfer value more than tripled. Over three seasons at Napoli, Osimhen overcame injuries, became a crucial player, and won a championship, as well as the top scorer title in the 2022/2023 season.

During this time, his transfer value tripled, reaching its peak. However, the following season saw his goal contributions drop by almost half. After Antonio Conte’s arrival at the club, Osimhen lost his place in the squad, moving to the Turkish league, leading to a €20 million drop in his value. Currently, Transfermarkt.com values Osimhen at €100 million, still the highest among Galatasaray. players, Turkish Super Lig footballers, and Nigerian players.

Nigeria National Team

Victor Osimhen debuted for Nigeria’s U-17 team in the winter of 2015. Later that year, the forward participated in the U-17 World Cup, scoring 10 goals to become the top scorer, while Nigeria won the gold medals.

Osimhen debuted for the senior Nigerian national team in 2017. He has participated in two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments: in 2019 and 2023. The 2023 campaign was the most successful, as Nigeria reached the final but lost to Ivory Coast. In total, Osimhen has played 37 matches for Nigeria, scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists.

Prospects

It is expected that in his new team, Victor Osimhen will once again become a leader and help Galatasaray S.K. perform well in both the league and the Europa League. In his debut match in Turkey, the forward provided an assist and received applause from the fans. A successful season in the Turkish Super Lig could return the Nigerian to the top level and potentially secure a more lucrative contract with top European clubs.
