Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has faced a significant setback in his career as his market value has dipped by a whopping 25% to €75 million following his recent loan switch to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
This downgrade in the Nigerian international's value comes as no surprise to football fans who are expressing growing concerns about the player's long-term potential.
Osimhen, who broke into the international scene as a highly-rated young striker with a promising future in front of him, has been plagued by injury problems since his rise to fame at Serie A giants Napoli. The Italian club initially signed Osimhen from Lille in July 2020 in a €70 million deal.
Despite the considerable hype surrounding his talent, Osimhen's performances have been inconsistent, leading to worries that his development may have stalled. Still, there was a time when the 24-year-old was seen as one of the most formidable strikers in the world.
At the height of his power last season, Osimhen's market value had soared to a staggering €100 million after a string of impressive performances in the league. With suitors from top-tier clubs said to be circling around the coveted player, the stage seemed set for him to secure a lucrative transfer to a bigger club.
However, the injury issues have persisted, causing Osimhen to come off the bench more often than not in numerous crucial games for Napoli and the Super Eagles.
Fast forward to the present, and the player's precarious fitness situation seems to be catching up with him in the form of reduced market value.
Football fans are divided about what the future holds for the striker. Some are convinced he'll bounce back stronger than ever once he acquires better fitness levels and settles in his new role. On the other hand, critics speculate he may face more downgrades if his fitness problems persist.
Whatever the case, Osimhen remains the topic of hot discussion as sports analysts and fans continue to speculate on his situation.
