Super Eagles star and Galatasaray forward, Victor Osimhen, has been crowned the most valuable player in the Turkish Süper Lig, according to the latest valuations by Transfermarkt.com.
The 25-year-old Nigerian sensation leads the league with an impressive valuation of €75 million, reflecting his release clause and solidifying his status as the division’s top talent.
Osimhen’s valuation places him far ahead of the second-most valuable player, Galatasaray teammate Gabriel Sara, who is rated at €23 million.
Stellar Performances
Osimhen’s outstanding form this season has justified his top ranking. The prolific forward has scored nine league goals, placing him second on the top-scorers chart and fourth in goals-per-game metrics. His on-field brilliance continues to elevate his reputation in Turkish football.
Nigerian Presence in the Top 30
Osimhen isn’t the only Nigerian making waves in the Süper Lig. Bright Osayi-Samuel, a right-back for Fenerbahçe, also features among the top 30 most valuable players. Valued at €8 million, the 26-year-old has made 18 appearances this season across all competitions, although he is yet to register a goal or assist.
Transfermarkt Rankings
While Transfermarkt valuations are hypothetical and may not directly translate to actual transfer costs, they highlight the significant impact and rising reputation of Nigerian players like Osimhen and Osayi-Samuel in Turkish football.
The recognition serves as a testament to their growing influence in one of Europe’s prominent leagues.
