Nigerian center-forward Emmanuel Dennis, currently on loan from Nottingham Forest, has been making headlines more for his substantial salary at the Turkish club than for his on-field performances.
Emmanuel Dennis, who was supposed to make a substantial impact on the attacking potential of the Istanbul team being loaned from Nottingham Forest, is currently earning a gross weekly salary of just a bit over €46,000, according to several sources. Yet, he has played three games in the Turkish Superlig and has struggled to score even once.
The Nigerian’s annual earnings amount to an impressive €2,400,000 gross, a testament to his value and the Turkish club’s investment in him. According to Score Nigeria, Istanbul Basaksehir is shouldering the player’s wage bill during his loan from Nottingham Forest.
Having established himself as a top-tier footballer, Emmanuel Dennis has accumulated a total gross income of €4,644,169 throughout his playing career, according to Capology.com. Dennis’s current contract with Istanbul Basaksehir is set to expire on June 30, 2024.
With less than a year remaining on his contract, there may be discussions in the near future regarding his future with the club. At 25 years old, Emmanuel Dennis has already made a significant impact in football.
Arriving in 2017 to play for the Ukrainian side Zorya Lugansk, he started his impressive European journey during which he played in the Belgian Pro League, German Bundesliga, and English Premier League. According to Transfermarkt, his current transfer value is estimated at €7 million, with the career highest at €17 million in 2020.
