Is Vinicius Jr, five times better and more valuable than Victor Osimhen ? Why the huge difference in offered salaries from Saudi Arabia? Osimhen~€40m/yr which equals €200m in 5yrs Vinicius Jnr ~€200m/yr -€1B in 5yrs Moral of the Story - Vinicius is a Brazilian super star who plays for the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid. He won FIFA best in 2024 and was allegedly robbed of a deserving 2024 Ballon d’or after helping his club win the champions league that year. He is known worldwide and his brand and CV is what is commanding the huge salary from Saudi. - Every business wants to make profit. Saudi clubs are no exception. If Vinicius is in a team and Osimhen is in another, were would the crowd gravitate? Which player would give them more global appeal? Which player would sell shirts more? - Finally, Osimhen has the ability to build his brand up to Vinicius’ level if he has a very solid management team. He has the talents to mix it with the big boys but he needs to be playing in the biggest clubs in the world even if it means reducing his wages significantly in the interim. Moving from a Serie A title winning Napoli to Gala in Turkey is a big downgrade and a shame to the immense skills God has blessed him with. He needs to be on the world stage week in week out building his CV and eventually cashing out big time in Saudi in the twilight of his career! 18 Likes 1 Share

Vini would obviously be paid more 1. He plays for Real Madrid 2. More famous than Osimhen 3. More club achievements (trophies) than Osimhen 4. He's a Brazilian 143 Likes 2 Shares |

Vinicius isn’t just a baller, he’s a brand. He plays for Real Madrid, has a massive brand presence, and recently helped win major titles, Madrid, UCL titles, Ballon d'Or shouts, that’s global appeal. Osimhen has the skill to match or surpass that, but he needs to stay on the world stage. Strategy is greater than speed. 72 Likes 1 Share |

This dichotomy or disparity really calls for concern. I think it is the way Napoli has handled this transfer issue. I saw a thread some days ago where Chelsea FC was putting a £100m release clause on Nicolas Jackson, a fellow African. 1 Like 1 Share |

Daejumong:Napoli management are hellbent on frustrating Victor Osimhen by rejecting €70m from Galatasaray , also his agent and his advisers are not doing him good he should’ve accepted Al hilal bid, they also offered €70m, stop comparing Vinicius and Osimhen if you are a true sport lover or football fan you will understand that Vinicius Jnr has bigger profile than Osimhen in Football so don’t expect them both being valued at same price in transfer market. 4 Likes |

He's not even as good as Ngolo Kante's left leg, let alone Vinicius. Please, let's be realistic. He needs to prove that he's worthy of such a high salary. How much is Palmer even earning, and yet he isn't compared with Vinicius? Osimhen needs to play at a higher level to prove all hos doubters. UCL will help him 4 Likes |

I want to believe that that it’s the club that places value on a their player They understand the controversy behind his contract with Napoli hence they want to take an advantage On the other hand they know that Vinicius will not want to leave Madrid for another at the moment hence the audacious and Jupiter money to tempt him 4 Likes 1 Share |
