I don't exactly know how many games Osimhem now played after his injury, I think it was three or four, but he is miles away from being a transfer target for Real Madrid I think. When he was having that great form and was a goal guarantee, things were looking differently and many of the top clubs were thinking about signing him. But for now I believe most of the clubs also put a potential transfer on hold in their minds. Or someone will go for him and try to keep the transfer fee as low as possible as he is not performing very well.

Victor Osimhen just won the CAF Men's player of the year award, so his price and value will not reduce. For any club coming to get him, they will be very aware of the player they are getting and his position in the world football. They should be prepared to spend because Napoli will be making sure that they demand a good fee for his release. Victor Osimhen is a very good and physical striker, many clubs will want him because of the physicality he can add to their attack.

I doubt that Osimhen is priced on the same level as he was priced during the last transfer window in summer. When he was leading the goal scorer statistics in Serie A and scored just about every game and essentially was Napoli's insurance, the price they were asking for him was already too high for any club to be willing to pay it. But now after his injury and several games without a goal scored, you are still sure that the price did not go down?

The last price tag you can find for him was put at €120.00m in mid of June 2023 and I am sure that this market value will go down if doesn't score goals again like he did last season.

In fact, there are many assessment factors that will determine the market price of a player, including Osimhen. Apart from the factors that influence a player market price, what actually determines Osimhen price the most is the team need for a player like Osimhen. Simply put, we can see the process of Harry Kane transfer to Bayern Munchen, Tuchel really wanted him and continued to make price offers until an agreement was reached with Tottenham. I think that kind of scenario could also apply to Osimhen, there are definitely some clubs who are a little crazy in spending their budget to recruit Osimhen, they seem to not want to worry about the price, what is important for them is that the player they are targeting can be brought in, like PSG or Chelsea.

I think Osimhen will be up for grabs in the transfer window and Napoli clearly don't want to let go of their asset at a cheap price. Even though the number of goals scored by Osimhen in Serie A has currently decreased from the previous season, it will not have much of an impact on his bargaining value. When a club needs a ready-made, pure striker like Osimhen, their habit is to only think about how to avoid FFP sanctions, not to negotiate a cheaper price.
