Super Eagles star agrees on personal terms to join Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray

Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika has agreed on personal terms to join reigning Turkish champions Galatasaray permanently, Soccernet.ng reports.

Galatasaray have been quite active in the transfer market this summer as they have made some decent signing in a bid to defend the Super Lig title which they won last season.

The club have brought in players like Gabriel Sara, Elias Jelert, Ismail Jakobs, and Victor Osimhen, who joined on loan from Napoli.

However, with two days until the end of the transfer market, Galatasaray don’t seem to be done. They want to sign a new midfielder, and they have set their sights on Super Eagles star Onyedika.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Turkish champions have sent Club Brugge a bid of €5 million for the Nigerian forward, but the Belgian side have rejected.

Galatasaray appear to be seriously interested in Onyedika, as they want to give the 23-year-old midfielder a five-year contract. The Super Eagles star has even accepted Galatasaray’s personal offer, but the agreement with Club Brugge is the only hurdle.

In order to sign Onyedika, Galatasaray would have to increase their offer significantly. Club Brugge signed the Super Eagles star from Midtjylland two years ago for €9.5 million, and they would want to make a significant profit from his sale.

If Galatasaray do not present a bid of €15 million to Club Brugge, they may not get their man this summer. Moreover, Onyedika still has three years left on his current contract.
