One of the most notable declines in market value this year involves Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen. The 25-year-old began 2024 with a market value of €110 million. However, following a turbulent summer transfer saga, his valuation dropped significantly.
Osimhen’s move to the Turkish Super Lig, after a failed transfer to Chelsea, led to a €10 million decrease in his value in Serie A’s June update.
Following his loan to Galatasaray, his market value fell by another €25 million, now standing at €75 million, as Napoli appears willing to sanction a permanent sale at that price.
