The Super Eagles forward’s staggering salary eclipses that of seasoned stars Mauro Icardi and Ciro Immobile, who earn €10 million each per year, according to figures obtained from Capology.
After a golden stint at Napoli, where he netted 76 goals and led them to their first Serie A title in over three decades in the 2022/23 season, Osimhen’s future became uncertain following a public fallout with the Italian club.
In 2024, the Nigerian forward made a high-profile loan switch to Galatasaray—a move that made waves both on and off the pitch.
While Galatasaray covers €192,308 of his weekly wages, Napoli continues to pay the remaining €98,654, making Osimhen’s total weekly income a whopping €290,962.
Despite the heavy financial commitment, the Turkish giants have no regrets. With 28 goals in 33 appearances so far this season, according to Transfermarkt, the 26-year-old has proved to be every bit worth the investment.
