Wednesday, September 30

Victor Osimhen has suffered another sharp fall in his Transfermarkt valuation, with the Super Eagles striker dropping from €75 million to €65m in the latest market-value update, Soccernet.ng reports.

The €10m reduction comes after a summer in which the Turkish Süper Lig attracted a remarkable collection of global stars, including Mohamed Salah, Rafael Leão and Dušan Vlahović.

The latest fall takes Victor Osimhen, often regarded as one of the world’s best strikers, to a new four-year low. The last time Osimhen was valued at €65m was in June 2022, aged only 23, barely two years after joining Napoli from LOSC Lille.

When the Nigerian arrived at Galatasaray on loan in September 2024, he was carrying a €100m valuation, which made him the most valuable player in Süper Lig history. Transfermarkt subsequently cut that figure to €75m because of his move away from one of Europe’s top five leagues.

His value later slipped to €70m before rising back to €75m after Galatasaray completed his permanent €75m transfer from Napoli in July 2025. Transfermarkt kept him at €75m in May 2026, citing his elite status and interest from major European clubs.

The new €65m valuation leaves Osimhen €55m below his €120m career peak, which he reached during his Napoli years.

Even after the latest reduction, Osimhen sits at the summit of the Turkish market-value landscape. Rafael Leão is valued at €50m, Dušan Vlahović at €35m and Mohamed Salah at €22m, leaving the Nigerian well ahead of the Portuguese forward and the Serbian striker and the Egyptian prince.

Interestingly, Osimhen has started the 2026-27 season in excellent form, which could have boosted his estimated transfer value.

The Super Eagles striker, who was reportedly on the radar of several top European clubs in the summer, has contributed six goals and two assists in only four league games for Galatasaray.

However, he is yet to feature in the Champions League for Galatasaray or the AFCON qualifiers for Nigeria, following an injury he suffered during league action earlier in September.
