Top 4 Highest-Paid African Footballers Who Earn More Than Victor Osimhen

Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen recently signed a lucrative contract with Napoli, making him one of the highest-paid African footballers. Osimhen's deal with the Italian club includes a guaranteed salary of €5 million per year, along with additional bonuses.

Despite his impressive earnings, Osimhen is not the highest-paid African player in the world. Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez tops the list with weekly earnings of around €200,000.

Senegalese star Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly also earn significant salaries, with Mane reportedly making €150,000 per week. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, though earning less than the top three, still outpaces Osimhen with a hefty weekly wage.

Despite interest from other clubs, Osimhen's move to the Premier League did not materialize due to the high costs involved.
