ACCORDING to the TransferMarkt, as quoted by Allnigeriasoccer.com, the Nigerian forward is now said to be worth over 27.8 Billion Naira (€60 Million). This value was gotten by rating the player's performance for club, country, age, and years left on his contract with the club.

This value has placed Osimhen as the 49th most valuable player in the world, 6th most valued player in the Italian league Serie A, and the most valued player in Napoli.

TransferMarkt's Area Manager, Dietl says; “After problems due to injuries last season, Osimhen is now showing that his transfer fee was well justified. In addition to his seven goals in eight competitive matches, he is also taking on an important role when the opponent is in possession and is growing into a complete centre-forward."

The €10 million increase to now €60 million represents a new career-high for the Nigerian, who left VfL Wolfsburg for RSC Charleroi for just €3.5 million in 2019.
