As his transfer to Napoli approaches, Victor Osimhen might end up being the most expensive football player in Nigeria. The Super Eagles striker has not yet signed a four-year contract, though, which would pay him almost €2.5 million annually. Osimhen scored 18 goals for the Ligue 1 team in his first campaign, and Napoli is paying Lille €60 million for him.
Osimhen will become the most expensive Nigerian player if the transaction, which is anticipated to be finalized this week, surpasses Alex Iwobi. Last year, Everton paid Arsenal £38 million for Iwobi. Gérard Lopez, the president of Lille, has already predicted that Osimhen will become a “superstar” at Napoli.
