Super Eagles stars Osimhen and Boniface feature in list of estimated most expensive players in the world

The two Super Eagles strikers have been brilliant in the last two seasons, and they are regarded highly in Europe

Super Eagles strikers Victor Osimhen and Victor Boniface have been named in CIES’ list for the 100 most expensive footballers, Soccernet.ng reports.

Nigeria is currently blessed with some of the best pointmen in the game. Peseiro is spoilt for choices as even stars like Cyriel Dessers and Terem Moffi were excluded from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Meanwhile, CIES Observatory, a website that provides exclusive data and analysis on players’ ratings and values, has released a new rating of the top 100 most expensive players. And on the list, Nigerian strikers Osimhen and Boniface are present.

At €100.5 million, Napoli hitman Osimhen is the 36th most expensive player in the world, while Bayer Leverkusen star Boniface is the 98th most expensive player in the world with a value of €72.5M.

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is number one on the list, with a hefty valuation of 267.5M. Erling Haaland and Vinicius Junior are valued at €251.2M and €250.3M respectively. Rodrigo Goes follows in fourth with a valuation of €247.9M, while Bukayo Saka completes the top five at a valuation of €223.0M.

Phil Foden, Pablo Gavi, Julian Alvarez, Jamal Musiala, and Martin Odegaard make up the top ten.

  • As a Nigerian citizen, my heart and prayer is with our Super Eagles. If this boys could knuckle down, and do the business as expected without attitude. I think they can conquer Africa. But we have to take care of the goalkeeper situation. Good luck Super eagles of Nigeria .
