Is Vinicius Jr, five times better and more valuable than Victor Osimhen ? Why the huge difference in offered salaries from Saudi Arabia?
Osimhen~€40m/yr which equals €200m in 5yrs
Vinicius Jnr ~€200m/yr -€1B in 5yrs
Moral of the Story
- Vinicius is a Brazilian super star who plays for the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid. He won FIFA best in 2024 and was allegedly robbed of a deserving 2024 Ballon d’or after helping his club win the champions league that year. He is known worldwide and his brand and CV is what is commanding the huge salary from Saudi.
- Every business wants to make profit. Saudi clubs are no exception. If Vinicius is in a team and Osimhen is in another, were would the crowd gravitate? Which player would give them more global appeal? Which player would sell shirts more?
- Finally, Osimhen has the ability to build his brand up to Vinicius’ level if he has a very solid management team. He has the talents to mix it with the big boys but he needs to be playing in the biggest clubs in the world even if it means reducing his wages significantly in the interim. Moving from a Serie A title winning Napoli to Gala in Turkey is a big downgrade and a shame to the immense skills God has blessed him with. He needs to be on the world stage week in week out building his CV and eventually cashing out big time in Saudi in the twilight of his career!
