In a recent publication by French tabloid L’Equipe, the monthly salary of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen at Napoli has been unveiled, positioning him among Europe’s top earners.

The 25-year-old Nigerian sensation commands a monthly salary of €1.50m (£1.29m), securing the 16th spot on the prestigious list of highest-paid footballers in Europe.

Osimhen’s remarkable achievement places him alongside Egypt’s Mohammed Salah, the only other African player featured on the list.

Salah, who plies his trade with Premier League powerhouse Liverpool, clinched the 7th spot, showcasing Africa’s growing influence in European football.

With rumors swirling about a potential transfer from Napoli in the upcoming summer window, Osimhen’s trajectory suggests a promising ascent into the elite echelons of football’s top earners.

As the current African Footballer of the Year, Osimhen’s future remains a topic, as he eyes a possible surge into the top 10 earners in European football.
