Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has been making headlines, not just for his performance on the pitch but also for his remarkable earnings. The Napoli striker, who recently signed a lucrative contract extension, now ranks among the highest-paid African players in Europe.
According to reports, Osimhen earns €1 million per month, a figure that translates to approximately ₦1.7 billion monthly based on current exchange rates (₦1,700 per €1).
Let’s break this down further:
- Monthly Salary: €1,000,000 (~₦1.7 billion)
- Weekly Salary: €250,000 (~₦425 million)
- Daily Salary: €35,714 (~₦60 million)
This means that Victor Osimhen earns around ₦60 million every single day, regardless of whether there’s a match or not. It's a figure that puts him far above the average Nigerian income level and solidifies his position as one of the most financially successful Nigerian footballers of all time.
His deal also includes significant bonuses for goals, appearances, and potential transfer clauses that could see him join a Premier League or Saudi club in the future.
Victor Osimhen currently plays for Galatasaray, a prominent club in the Turkish SĂĽper Lig. He completed a permanent transfer from Napoli on July 31, 2025, signing a four-year contract that extends through the 2028–29 season. The transfer fee was €75 million, setting a new record for the highest transfer fee in Turkish football history.
During the 2024–25 season, Osimhen was on loan at Galatasaray, where he delivered an exceptional performance by scoring 37 goals in 41 matches across all competitions. His contributions were instrumental in helping Galatasaray secure both the SĂĽper Lig title and the Turkish Cup.
With his permanent move, Osimhen is poised to continue his impressive form and further solidify his impact in Turkish football.
