The Super Eagles have seen an increase in the team’s value in the latest transfer market rankings after falling down the rankings three times in a row. In January, the Nigerian national team was worth 465.9 million euros, but by July its value had plummeted to 252 million euros. However, according to the latest Transfermarkt report, the Super Eagles’ market value has risen to €281 million, securing their position as Africa’s second most valuable team after Morocco.

I couldn’t get it. Although Osimhen remained absent from the recent African Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, the return of players such as Taiwo Awoniyi and Chidela Ejuke, as well as the rise in the market value of Victor Boniface, have boosted the team’s total value.
Boniface is currently the Super Eagles’ most valuable player, valued at €45 million, ahead of Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman, who has a market value of €40 million. Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye’s impressive performances have seen his value rise to €7.5 million, making him the most valuable Nigerian goalkeeper.
Nigeria’s defense still lags behind, with only Calvin Bassey (€16 million) and Ola Aina (€12 million) reaching significant market value, while Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Moses・Other key players such as Simon have maintained their previous ratings.
