Victor Osimhen has boasted few players are at his level in the world and claimed he is worth more than €100m.
Osimhen has established himself as one of the best attackers in the world.
The Nigeria international has a €130m release clause in the contract he signed with former Serie A champions Napoli last December.
The 25-year-old moved to Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal last summer with the release clause reportedly reduced to €75m.

The former Lille player however believed he is worth more than that.
He also believed he is an elite striker and currently one of the best in the game.
“I am worth more than 100 million euros. There are few players like me in the world who have achieved the same results and success as me,” Osimhen told Tuttosport.
“Everything is linked to my characteristics, the things I do on the pitch and my quality. I think I deserve a high valuation.
“I am aware of the contribution I can give to a team. Do people think differently? Some say 15 million euros, others say 100-120-150. Everyone has different opinions”.

If not for racism, Osimhen should be about World number1. 200m is too small for your quality.
Go on Victor. It is your God given talent. If you have it, you flaunt it
Very soon some ignorant fellows will take offence, swearing that this is empty boasting . It is not. It is being assertive. Didn’t one sacred book say: Man know thyself?
In Nigeria people dismiss themselves off and remain perpetual beggars. I had a professor whose slogan was: I refuse to be small. And he was a great man, indeed.
The fact is how much your worth or your price tag depends on how much somebody willing to pay for you. Osimhen had a release clause of $130 million, nobody was gonna pay that. He says he is worth more than $100 million, but napoli just released a statement saying that they will take $90 million. It all depends on how much someone is willing to pay for you
Arsenal was even begging napoli to bring the price down
100m…. no nah! Is should be upped.
Osimhen shines wherever he goes and certainly the undisputed world best.
In restrospect, I sometimes wonder what happened to his contemporaries who somewhat are oblivious. NO TRACE
Osimhen’s contemporaries in the SE are unsung, that na why.
