Highest-Earning Nigerians In Europe: Ighalo Dusts Osimhen by robosky02(op): 10:37pm On Aug 05, 2020
Odion Ighalo whose loan deal with Manchester United ends in January 2021 is still Nigeria’s highest-paid football player despite Victor Osimhen’s megabucks transfer to Napoli.

Ighalo is currently the highest-earning Nigerian footballer as the Manchester United striker is paid a massive £125K-a-week fee after he successfully extended his contract at the Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old joined the Red Devils earlier this year from Shanghai Shenhua for an initial six months loan deal and further extended the deal until 2021.

He earns a whopping sum of money ahead of sensational youngster Victor Osimhen who will be earning £96,000-a-week at his new club Napoli.

Osimhen officially joined the Italia Serie A side as the club have finally unveiled the youngster after weeks of trying to seal the deal. Napoli completed the transfer agreement for the 21-year-old for fee plus an array of potential bonuses that takes the deal up to €50million (about N23billion).

Re: Highest-Earning Nigerians In Europe: Ighalo Dusts Osimhen by MANNABBQGRILLS:
Meanwhile,

Victor Osimhen is the most expensive African player of all time after sealing a record move to Napoli.

The Nigerian forward has joined the Neapolitan outfit for an initial €71.2 million but a further €10.1 million is guaranteed in add-ons, taking the overall fee to €81.3 million - as per French newspaper L'Equipe.

It eclipses the £72 million Arsenal paid to land Nicolas Pepe, who Osimhen then replaced in Lille's attack after the Ivorian's big-money move to the Emirates Stadium.


Most Expensive player and Highest paid player are two different things.

We Rise!!

That's the gross pay.

Remove 40% (effective tax rate) of the Gross and you get his net, take-home pay. Besides, those guys live large ... so a lot of bills to foot. Fancy cars, Olosho etc. Before you know, money don finish. The money no too plenty like that.

The right word is conversion.
We believe that is a typo.
Kindly edit it before the uncultured nuisances on nairaland start foaming from their mouths on you.

Put more effort,
Quitters never win.

One day in paradise!
Just keep running! wink
