Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly seen his market valuation surge to €150 million as of February 2026, a staggering rise just months after his high-profile move to Galatasaray S.K..
The figure, disclosed by club vice president Abdullah Kavukcu, represents a 100 percent increase on the €75 million Galatasaray paid to SSC Napoli in the summer of 2025 to secure the Nigerian forward’s signature.
According to Kavukcu, the revised valuation reflects Osimhen’s immediate and decisive influence in both domestic and European competitions.
Since arriving in Istanbul, the 27-year-old has delivered extraordinary numbers , 66 goal contributions in 65 appearances, scoring 53 goals and providing 13 assists. His performances have powered Galatasaray’s Süper Lig title charge and strengthened their campaign in the UEFA Champions League.
The consistency of his match-winning displays has reinforced his standing as one of Europe’s most clinical forwards and fueled the sharp rise in his estimated market worth.
Osimhen’s form has not gone unnoticed across the continent. Several European heavyweights are believed to be closely monitoring his situation, including Juventus F.C., FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and FC Bayern Munich.
In response to mounting transfer speculation, Galatasaray have reportedly placed a €150 million asking price on the striker, a valuation viewed both as recognition of his importance to the squad and a strategic deterrent against potential suitors.
If formalized in the transfer market, the €150 million tag would position Osimhen among the most highly valued players in global football, underlining his rapid ascent since arriving in Turkey just around a year ago.
For Galatasaray, the valuation signals ambition, not only to retain their talisman but to strengthen their status among Europe’s elite. For Osimhen, it marks another milestone in a career that continues to accelerate at remarkable speed.
