Are you looking for information on Ahmed Musa net worth? Read on.
The captain and the longest-serving player of the Super Eagles of Nigeria is on his way to another major tournament.
This is despite the fans’ calls for him to retire from the team to accommodate younger talents. This, according to some sources, is also despite the better judgement of José Peseiro and his coaching staff.
Whatever the public opinion is, Ahmed Musa will earn another cap for Nigeria at a major tournament and his finances will smile as a result.
Here is information on Ahmed Musa net worth.
I am not surprised at the furious reactions to the Ahmed Musa invitation cos we usually hound long serving players out of Super Eagles. Some players give their all for us & conduct themselves well when they represent Nigeria. Musa is one of them.He deserves to enjoy his hurrah.

Ahmed Musa net worth: Is Sivasspor man the richest Nigerian footballer?
Recently, Victor Osimhen signed a new contract at Napoli. The salary bump that the 25-year-old striker got from that contract would place him among Nigeria’s richest footballers in 2024 and beyond.
However, he will have to earn that amount consistently for several years before he can catch up to Ahmed Musa net worth or the net worth of the other players on the rich list of Nigerian footballers.
The 108-cap and 18-goal captain of the Nigeria national football team has been reaping the fruits of his talents for over a decade now. He has consistently been in the top five of the Nigerian footballers’ rich list for more than half a decade as well.
Musa currently has over 400 houses all over Nigeria, which shows that real estate is one of his primary endeavours outside of football.
“We Hope he saves for retirement and learns from Ahmed Musa who has over 300 houses in Lagos” – Arise TV Presenters advises Osimhen.

As of 2024, the former Leicester City forward is currently behind only John Mikel Obi, Obafemi Martins, Odion Ighalo and Victor Moses in the list of Nigeria’s richest footballers. This is largely because he invests quite a lot in charity in his home community and because of his current earnings in Turkey.
Musa moved to Turkey in 2021 after returning to play in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) with Kano Pillars for one year in 2020/21. It is also important to note that while at Kano Pillars, Musa did not earn a salary.
His first stop after his publicity stint in the NPFL was at Fatih Karagümrük after which he moved to Sivasspor, where he still plies his trade. His earnings dropped from over €100,000 per week to under €20,000 per week.
He is said to earn €16,000 at Sivasspor, which is a paltry sum compared to what he earned in Russia, Saudi Arabia and England. Ahmed Musa net worth has not been affected much, however, thanks to his many businesses.
What is Ahmed Musa net worth?
Ahmed Musa net worth is around $20-30 million in 2024.
His real estate and business portfolio greatly contributes to this as the 31-year-old no longer enjoys the kind of financial windfall from football that he used to in his heydays.
His businesses include petrol stations, hospitals, hotels, a construction firm, vehicle dealerships, and a thriving importation business. He was in the news earlier in the year for slashing the cost of petrol at his petrol stations as a palliative to Nigerians after the subsidy on petroleum products was removed.
I have no problem with Ahmed Musa, Kenneth Omeruo and Troost-Ekong on this list.
You need experienced campaigners in tournament squads. These three will come in handy as we progress.
My worry is our lack of guile in midfield or even in attack. #AFCON2023 #SuperEagles pic.twitter.com/DvXnCDhusz

His contract at Sivasspor is set to end in 2025, which many expect to be his year of retirement from the sport.
In the meantime, he will be preparing to travel to Ivory Coast with the rest of the 25-man squad that Peseior has called up for AFCON 2023 which comes up in January 2024.
