The Nigerian striker, currently with Napoli, is a key target for the club as they seek to strengthen their attacking options.
His high wage demand reflects his status as one of Europe’s top forwards, and Chelsea is evaluating whether they can meet these financial expectations while balancing their budget for the new season.
According to the latest reports, Victor Osimhen currently earns £113,000 per week, £5,876,000 per year playing for Napoli as a striker. His net worth is estimated at £24,310,000.
In December 2023, Osimhen signed a contract extension with Napoli that improved his weekly wages to €246,538 (£207,171). This makes him the highest-earning Nigerian footballer and places him at the top of Napoli’s payroll.
Osimhen’s primary income sources include his Napoli salary, endorsement deals, performance bonuses, prize money, and image rights. His net worth in 2024 is estimated between $10-12 million (£7.8-9.4 million).
