Victor Osimhen has seen his financial profile rise sharply alongside his development into one of Nigeria’s most prominent football stars.
The Super Eagles striker is now earning a substantial salary at Galatasaray after completing a permanent transfer from Napoli in 2025 for €75 million. The deal made him the most expensive player in Turkish football history and further cemented his status as one of Africa’s most valuable footballers.
Osimhen’s journey to the top has been built over several years. After beginning his European career with VfL Wolfsburg, he went on to play for Charleroi and Lille before securing a move to Napoli in 2020.
His goalscoring record has continued to grow across those clubs, with the Nigerian forward now having more than 130 senior career goals to his name.
His influence has also extended to international football. Osimhen has scored 35 times for Nigeria and is closing in on the country’s all-time scoring record held by the late Rashidi Yekini, who finished his Super Eagles career with 37 goals.
How Much Does Osimhen Earn at Galatasaray?
Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray has significantly increased his earnings.
According to figures published by Capology, the Nigerian has a contract with the Turkish champions running until June 30, 2029. His estimated fixed gross salary over the three remaining years of the agreement is €56.25 million.
For the 2026/27 campaign, his reported gross annual salary stands at approximately €18.75 million.
That figure translates to an estimated weekly wage of about €360,577 before deductions.
His Galatasaray package is not limited to his regular salary. Reports also indicate that the striker received a €1 million loyalty bonus as part of the agreement, while around €5 million was allocated for image rights.
These additional payments further increase the overall value of his deal.
What Is Victor Osimhen’s Net Worth in 2026?
Osimhen’s wealth comes from more than his club salary.
The Nigerian forward has also secured commercial opportunities through his growing profile, including partnerships and ambassadorial roles with major brands.
Various estimates put his net worth between $30 million and $40 million in 2026. However, net-worth figures published by football websites and other outlets are estimates rather than independently verified financial statements, so the actual amount may differ.
His earnings have been boosted by his success on the pitch, particularly during his time in Italy and Turkey.
