AFCON 2025: Most expensive players in Nigeria’s Group C – See how many Super Eagles players make it

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are targeting a fourth continental title at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) in Morocco.

​Nigeria has not won the trophy since 2013. Their best performance since then came during the last edition in Ivory Coast, where they finished as runners-up to the hosts.

This year, the Super Eagles are determined to go one step further and reclaim the throne.

​However, their journey begins in the group stage. Nigeria has been drawn into Group C alongside Uganda, Tanzania, and former champions Tunisia. As the heavyweights of the group, the Super Eagles boast the highest-valued squad.

​Group C Market Value Overview

​The Super Eagles of Nigeria dominates the valuations in Group C, as their opponents hardly  have players that stand out.

​Tunisia: Their most expensive player is Hannibal Mejbri, valued at €14 million according to Transfermarkt. ​

Tanzania: Their most valued star is Novatus Miroshi, who plays for Turkish Süper Lig club Göztepe. He is valued at €2 million. ​

Uganda: The Cranes do not even have a player valued at the €1 million mark. Their most valuable players are Baba Alhassan (FCSB) and Aziz Kayondo (Slovan Liberec) who are both rated €900k. ​

Top 5 Most Expensive Players in Group C

Nigeria has the biggest stars in Group C of AFCON 2025. And unsurprisingly, the list is dominated by players in Europe’s top leagues.

Ademola Lookman (Atalanta) – €40 million

Calvin Bassey (Fulham) – €28 milion
