Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, is the highest-paid footballer in Serie A with his recent Napoli contract and bonuses seeing him rise above Juventus forward in the Italian topflight earnings chart
Osimhen, who joined Napoli from Lille in 2020, signed a new contract in December that earns him a monthly salary of £1.29m, almost doubling his previous earnings.
Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, is the best-paid player with an eye watering monthly take home of £5.15 million.
Osimhen’s new salary was a reward for his performance in the 2022/23 season where he inspired Napoli to a first Serie A title in 33 years and he also capped it off with the league topscorer award after scoring 26 league goals.
Napoli reportedly refused an offer of more than €200m for Osimhen from a team in Saudi Arabia last summer. The 25-year-old was signed from Lille in 2020 for a fee of around €75m and the Nigeria international has gone on to establish himself as one of the most exciting strikers in the world.
