Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly settled a lingering financial dispute over a luxury vehicle lease, even as he missed out on a place in the latest list of the world’s 15 most valuable footballers.
According to reports, the Galatasaray forward cleared an outstanding debt of about €75,000 linked to the lease of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle from a Milan-based rental company, bringing an end to the misunderstanding surrounding the matter.
It was learnt that the striker was initially unaware of the unpaid balance on the contract. The issue has now been resolved, with reports indicating that the vehicle in question will remain in Germany following the settlement.
On the pitch, however, Osimhen continues to attract global attention despite his absence from the top tier of the latest valuation rankings released by the CIES Football Observatory.
The Nigerian international, who plays for Galatasaray, is valued by the Istanbul giants at around €150m, reflecting his status as one of the most soughtafter forwards in world football.
