Super Eagles’ Osimhen rated 16th highest-paid player in Europe

Napoli and Super Eagles attacker, Victor Osimhen, has been ranked  16th highest-paid footballer in Europe this season.

This was made known and published by French Magazine L’Equipe on Monday.

Osimhen, who joined Napoli from Lille in 2020, earns a monthly salary of €1.50m (£1.29m).

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, is the best-paid player with an eye watering monthly take home of £5.15 million.

Osimhen is the current African Footballer of the Year and is likely to become the most expensive African footballer.

The 25-year-old has a release clause of around €120m in his current contract with the Serie A champions.

The Nigerian is expected to leave Napoli next season to team up with a club in either England or France.
