Osimhen Leads Turkish Super Lig as Highest-Paid Player
Victor Osimhen, a striker for Galatasaray, is currently the highest-paid player in the Turkish Super Lig, earning a weekly wage of £307,964. This places him ahead of notable new arrivals such as Mohamed Salah and Romelu Lukaku, who earn £205,309 per week at Trabzonspor.
The summer of 2026 has seen significant player movement in the league, enhancing its competitiveness. Richarlison ranks second with a weekly salary of £270,000 at Trabzonspor, a substantial increase from his previous earnings of £90,000 at Tottenham Hotspur.
N'Golo Kante and Ederson both earn £225,840 per week at Fenerbahce, while Rafael Leao, also at Galatasaray, matches Salah's earnings. Despite speculation about Osimhen's potential return to the Premier League, his current salary at Galatasaray complicates any possible transfer.
The Turkish Super Lig continues to attract top talent, transforming it into a prominent destination in European football.
