Nigeria's Onyedika rejects Club Brugge contract, eyeing exit

Nigeria international Raphael Onyedika has rejected a new contract offer from Belgian Pro League champions Club Brugge, with the defensive midfielder intent on leaving at the end of the current season. The 19-time Belgian champions have been working to extend Onyedika's deal, but he has one year remaining on his current contract. Club Brugge previously rejected offers from Turkish champions Galatasaray for Onyedika in January this year. The Nigerian joined Club Brugge from Danish side FC Midtylland in 2022 and has established himself as a key midfield presence. This rejection likely signals Onyedika's openness to transfer opportunities when his contract expires in June. European clubs will likely circle for Onyedika when his contract expires in June. Should he move to a bigger league, it could inspire young Nigerian midfielders. Will he return to Nigeria or continue his European journey?
