Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has spoken confidently about his value in the world of football, stating that he believes he is worth more than the €100 million price tag often attached to his name.
In a recent interview reported by Tuttosport, the Nigerian striker addressed ongoing talks about his market value following his move to Galatasaray during the final days of the transfer window. Osimhen, formerly of Napoli, said few players in the modern game combine talent and success the way he does, which makes him believe his worth is even higher than what people suggest.
While aware that others may have a different view, Osimhen was clear that he respects those opinions but stands by his self-belief. He shared that confidence has always been a major part of his career and growth.
Since his transfer to Turkish football, Osimhen has embraced life in Istanbul with enthusiasm. He described the city as exciting and praised the local football fans for their energy and passion. Settling into his new environment, Osimhen said he feels happy and inspired by the support he’s received so far.
The striker also spoke warmly about his new teammates at Galatasaray. He mentioned his growing bond with Dries Mertens, highlighting the former Napoli player’s encouragement and positive influence. Osimhen said that Mertens and his family have played a meaningful role in helping him adjust to life at his new club.
On fellow forward Mauro Icardi, Osimhen expressed admiration and acknowledged the Argentine’s legendary status at Galatasaray. He said he’s known Icardi for a long time and looks forward to playing alongside him, expecting Icardi’s goals and assists to make a big difference for the team.
Osimhen’s move to Turkey marks a new chapter in his career, and with his strong mindset and determination, he seems ready to make his mark both on and off the pitch.
