For a player that could go rogue at anytime, no club would invest that much. Have you also wondered why no European club is after him?

Hmm another angle.
No club will tolerate a player that is not consistent in character

Africans are never rated high at any occasion and this is no surprise too. It is not peculiar to Nigeria.

I just don't know why people don't value Nigerians, wouodnhave said racism, but again vini is black

Lol. The matter one confuse you.

Be sincere with yourself, is Oshime on the same level with Vinicious?
What can oshime do with the ball order than run after lose ball and hit straight onto the goal posts?
How many crowd can oshime pull apart from very few biased Nigerians?
Can Oshime successfully dribble past 5 players in a row?

Look both their faces..which one get character composure and countenance pass

His market value is almost 200m and Osimeh is 70 so what are you talking about? He plays for Real and also a global brand.

White people conspiracy, very wicked people

See question? Well the answer is simple we don't value ourselves that's why outsiders will never value us .

we hate each other in Nigeria with passion,we can never stand for each other always ready to kill each other how do you expect outsiders to value us.🙄

How? If oshime should be a Brazilian and plays in clubs like barca he will be ahead of vin.

WhiteIverson:
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

God bless your mother!

May the gods of our ancestors lead you to abundance.

.. Hope you also know that Mohammed Salah is the highest paid in Liverpool FC.

How many Africans are the highest paid on their clubs in Europe?

On this topic, you have no point.

No way both will submit their resume and you will pay Osime ahead of Vini.

Remove racial bias and be candid

Be realistic man.
Brazil have no preferential advantage over Nigeria. The difference is Vinicious can do ALL what Oshime can do, but Oshime cant do 20% of what Vinicious can do

None of them is black. They're both brown
Na una dey even carry racist tag about

Osimhen should get the chip of his block and stay humble, for a world class player he's not there yet.

One fantastic season with middle rated club isn't enough. U have to be consistent with winning and U have e to do it with a big team. That guy really needs to work on his character.

Osimhen should get good management team who will handle him both on and off the pitch. And while that's going on, he should learn from Mo Salah

Comparing him to Vinicius jnr makes no sense at all.

Osimen can still go to Gala who will likely be in the UCL,build and increase his value and in a year,big clubs will come for him!

I don't really see Galatasaray as a downgrade but a stepping stone to greatness for Oshimen if he can stay humble and keep improving!

It’s no longer ‘why are black players undervalued now it’s why are Nigeria players overvalued. People always have something to say

Nackzy:

Lol. Which kind of comparison is this one again?

Let tell ourselves the truth we over hype our players here in Nigeria just like English Media.
The oshimen u are rating so high could not even play pk na gala he take learn how to play pk. He no feel score free kick. And too is very temperamental no coach who want to have such an aggressive character in his team. Oshimen should work on his character unfortunately now is team like westham, Aston villa and Everton that will come for him next summer u see those big 6 forget am. Oshomen dry try but he no be world-class no too rate am. Him and vinicus junior no be mate

SatoshiX:
Africans are undervalued. That's just it. Not a Nigerians thing.

manuyd just got mbemuo for 70m onana for 50m bro stop this racist shit the market value is fair

Btruth:
God help us in Nigeria. I pray will all break loose from the negative vibes on the nation. Especially with mentioning of Nigeria as a country.

Do it's because oshimen is a Nigerian that is why he can't attract big clubs and play regularly with his skills?

If you really think that way den I am sorry.. you no too get $£n$£

Daejumong:
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!

Investors look at your country before they invest.

I keep saying it that most Osimhen's fans are not normal. How will u compare Osimhen to Vini? Who does that?

It is like comparing Ferrari with Innosin Motors. the difference is 7UP!

I don't know what osimhen's agents are doing honestly speaking. Osimhen needs to perform in the top leagues and prove himself.

His agents should make it happen no matter what it takes.

Chelsea wanted to sign Osimhen last year. How did he take that? He swelled up his salary demands beyond what Chelsea can afford, so they let him go.
I think Osimhen missed a big chance.

The country you come from matters a lot, especially the GDP and economic state of the country, the place of the country in global arena.

Meanwhile he is far far far far better than Vinicius both Home and Abroad.
On a Good day in Brazil, Vinicius will not see Bench. He would rather be a "BALL BOY".

IF Vinicius can't Bench Ze Roberto in Brazil or Fabiano then who would he bench?

Exactly...
He is far better than Vinicius Jnr.

you hit am for head

but you see any Brazilian way play like Osimhen go command higher than 70m.
Brazilian football team don win world cup many times.
dem no value nigerians. how many times super eagles don win world cup?

and Vinicius don go champions league many times, so dem value am higher. If Osimhen fit take him team to Champions league him value go go up.

Osimhen is a proven goal finisher. Even Haaland no fit win world cup with Norway but because he be European dem pay am outrageous amount.

ALISMILE:

It is actually not about Vinni or Osimhen.
The problem, though most of us would not admit it, lies with the Corrupt Folks managing the Nigerian Football federation.
Allow me to explain the connection:

First, recall what happened the few years w had good football administrators (Obakpolor era). We then had good Coaches (Westerhof and his assistant), we then had a thriving Local league.

Compare that time, to the recent times in our football. We have had a series of "Selfish Rogues" in the Football House, they even collect Bribe from FIFA, to undermine our Football growth.

Now, how does all these affect the "Value" of a Nigerian Player, compared to his Brazilian/ European counterpart?
1) If we have a well-organized league, our Home-based Players would already have a "Baseline Value" before even thinking of moving Abroad.
Go and check how much Vinni Cost, when he left Brazil for the first time, and how much Osimhen cost, when he left Nigeria for the first time! That is how your Country set your "baseline value" for you, as a player.

2) Scouts from all over the world watch the Brazilian League on TV and see how the 'Potential Stars' display their skills.
Unfortunately, even those in Nigeria are not seeing the Nigerian League, not to talk about foreign Scouts watching them from the comfort of their Rooms! Our Star Players (like Osimhen), have to practically grovel and beg these scouts, to give them a try (opportunity), when they go and meet them in their various foreign Club training. It is like you "wanting something desperately", versus "somebody trying to sell something to you desperately", which one would you naturally over a higher Price for?
if we had good football administrators, it is very easy to make the Local league attractive and lucrative for Sponsors/TV Rights (that part is a story for another day sha)

3) It is the desperation of our Players tnat makes them sell themselves very cheap, when they go abroad. In a Country where even your NFF does not care about you (Have you not seen what happens to Nigerian Players when they get injured on National Assignments and compare it to how, for example, a British player is treated by his Country?
If your Country (it's Football Administrators) say you are "Cheap", why should a foreigner buy you "expensively"?

4) Because we dont have a Country and Football Administrators that give a hoot about Nigerian Players, when our Players eventually have the opportunity to go abroad, no matter how bad the deal is, they will just grab it, because their is no "fail-safe' option for them, back home.

If we had good Football Administrators (the Key link in all these) :
A) Our League will be well organised
B) The Stadiums will be well secured and safe enough for Families buy season ticket and come watch Football
C) TV Stations will dedicate time to show the Matches, with good Cameras at all angles. TV Rights will be big Money!
D) Sponsors will pump Money to our League, knowing that they will get the necessary coverage and view for their Products
E) Players will get paid properly because their will be enough money to go round. This will remove the "desperation" out of their negotiation
F) Our League will be broadcasted locally and streamed to a world-wide audience. The Skills of our players will b showcased to Scouts.
G) The NFF will set a "base-line amount" for any of our players that is to be bought by a foreign Club (Take it or Leave it Amount) and since they can already watch our League/Players and see their Value/Skills (as they do the Brazilian league, which l love watching!), such foreign Club will be the one that is desperate to sign our skillful players, a good Footbal Product does not need too much begging to sell.

So, it is not about Vinni or Color, it is about Administration and that is why the Premier League is called the best and Biggest league in the World. It is an Industry that spins Billions of Pounds Annually.
We can do the same because we have more skillful Players in Nigeria, than in the UK or Spain (cant say for Brazil though) and we have the "football-crazy population" to go with it but with the kind of greedy, corrupt and criminal elements in our NFF (from top to the Chairman) over the years, it is only natural that Our Football declines and with it, the value of our Players.
Clean the NFF (I know, that corrupt FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, passed that Law that does not allow Countries like Nigeria to remove and jail Corrupt Football Administrators, calling it "interference", because they also get "support and kickback" from the thieves!) ..and you will see the Potential of Nigerian Football and the value of our Players skyrocket.

BTW, Racism/Discrimination against "anything Nigerian", has to do with "Perception" and Perception is "Reality".
If we change how outsiders perceive us (by doing the right things at home, starting with our Rulers not dying abroad or going abroad for medical treatment, when we can build the Hospital in Nigeria! ), our Reality will also change.
Osimhen is just a product of the system he found himself though, he should strive to play in the top Leagues (Premier League, LalIga, Bundesliga), to enhance his baseline Value.

sorry about the long Post, this things dey annoy me sometimes.

I have watched this ueye Vinicius or pinpincius o can't even see anything in I'm that impressed me, seriously instead for me to pay €100k per year for him if I'm a coach will rather go and pay Kanu, Yaya Toure, Ronaldhino, Owen, Garrret that amount than paying pinpincius or Titicious crap.

For Osimeh I told him to come home but hin dey speak grammar this thing na village people dey yarn apete come home ad do the right thing hin no dey hear, I swear who be Tintincius or whatever where Osimeh dey?
