Report: Former German champions open talks with Club Brugge for Raphael Onyedika

Raphael Onyedika has been absolutely brilliant at Club Brugge since he joined the club from Midtjylland three years ago…

German Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt have opened talks with Club Brugge over the possible signing of Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika, Soccernet.ng reports.

The transfer window closes in just over 36 hours, and many clubs have started making frantic efforts to get players in.

Onyedika is one of the players who has attracted a lot of attention in the closing hours of the window.

Recall that earlier, Soccernet.ng reported that the Super Eagles star had interest from Galatasaray and had even agreed on personal terms.

Onyedika has also been linked with a transfer to English Premier League side West Ham, but nothing has emerged from all the speculations yet.

Now, new reports suggest that Galatasaray are not the only ones looking at the 24-year-old.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, five-time DFB Pokal champions Eintracht Frankfurt have expressed interest in the Super Eagles star. The club has initiated contact with Club Brugge and are negotiating a deal.

According to Transfermarkt, Onyedika is valued at around €20 million, and that is quite affordable for Eintract Frankfurt, who have garnered over €110 million from sales this summer.

But it might not be a straightforward deal though, as the season has already started, and Onyedika is a very important player for Club Brugge. Letting him leave will affect badly. Moreover, he has two years left on his contract.

Raphael Onyedika Open To Eintracht Frankfurt Move

According to Sacha Tavolieri, Raphael Onyedika is open to making the switch to Eintracht Frankfurt.

He has been one of the best players at the club since he joined, and he will feel like it is time to make a big move.

Eintracht Frankfurt will give him Champions League football and a chance to compete for a title in a top five league.

He will be hoping that the transfer can be completed before the window closes.
