Eintracht Frankfurt agree €9m deal for Nigeria's Onyedika from Club Brugge
Eintracht Frankfurt have agreed a €9 million plus add-ons deal with Belgian Pro League champions Club Brugge for Nigeria international defensive midfielder Raphael Onyedika. The 25‑year‑old, who joined Club Brugge from Danish side FC Midtjylland in 2022, will sign a contract running until 2031 after completing his medical. Onyedika missed Club Brugge’s Belgian Super Cup clash against Union St. Gilloise on Friday night due to illness. The transfer sees the Nigeria midfielder return to the Bundesliga, where he previously featured for FC Midtjylland on loan? Actually he was at Midtjylland only. This move strengthens Frankfurt’s midfield options ahead of the Bundesliga season and gives Onyedika a chance to play regularly in one of Europe’s top leagues. For Nigerian fans, the deal highlights the growing export of talent from the domestic league to Europe and could boost his chances of regular national team call‑ups. With the Super Eagles preparing for upcoming qualifiers, a settled club role may help his form and availability. Will this Bundesliga move elevate Onyedika’s international prospects and provide Frankfurt with the defensive steel they need?
