Victor Osimhen continues to set the pace in Turkish football after Transfermarkt’s latest Süper Lig market value update confirmed the Nigerian as the league’s standout star, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Galatasaray striker, who sealed a record-breaking €75m move from Napoli this summer, has seen his valuation climb from €70m to €75m, matching the fee the Istanbul giants paid.
That figure keeps him well ahead of every other player in Türkiye, with Fenerbahçe’s Colombian forward Jhon Durán his closest rival at €35m.
The rise comes days after Victor Osimhen reminded many of his worth with a decisive strike against Liverpool in the Champions League. His coolly dispatched penalty secured Gala’s first home win in the competition for seven years and cemented his place in Nigerian football history as the country’s all-time top scorer in Europe’s elite club tournament, with ten goals.

It has been a dazzling start for the Super Eagles striker, whose transfer was met with scepticism in some quarters over whether he could maintain his reputation outside Europe’s top five leagues.
But Osimhen has silenced critics in trademark fashion, combining relentless work rate with match-defining goals that have quickly turned him into Galatasaray’s undisputed talisman.
And he isn’t the only Nigerian making waves in the market value charts.
Slavia Prague’s 21-year-old midfielder David Moses has hit a career-high €7m, as he continues his steady rise in Central Europe.
Meanwhile, Basel’s Philip Otele and Göztepe’s Anthony Dennis have both jumped to €5m apiece.
However, while Osimhen has been invited to the Super Eagles for this month’s crucial FIFA World Cup qualifiers despite his fitness issues, the trio of Moses, Otele, and Dennis are still waiting for the first call-up.
Elsewhere in Türkiye, Galatasaray’s new recruit Wilfried Singo saw his value increase to €28m following his summer switch from Monaco, while Leroy Sané’s drop to €25m reflected his indifferent start in Istanbul.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana, now at Trabzonspor, has slipped further to €20m after a turbulent few years.
But the spotlight firmly belongs to Victor Osimhen. In a division where values are volatile and reputations can fade quickly, he remains the benchmark, not just the most valuable player in the Süper Lig, but its most bankable superstar.
