I am worth more than €100m — Osimhen

Chelsea and PSG were close to signing the Super Eagles striker in the last hours of the window, but the deal fell through over his hefty €130m release clause, as a loan move to Turkey became the last resort.

On Monday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told Caught Offside that the Blues were plotting a £40m January swoop for the 25-year-old.

Despite clarification from the Italians that no negotiations are currently ongoing despite reports of behind-the-scenes preparations at Stamford Bridge, some fans saw the suggested £40m price tag as ridiculous for the current Africa Player of the Year.

It is against this backdrop that the player made the claim while commenting on his valuation after the problems in the last transfer market due to the termination clause inserted by Napoli, insisting he was worth more than €100m.

“I am worth more than €100m. There are few players like me in the world who have achieved the same results and success as me,” Osimhen said, per Tutto Sport.
