Al Ittihad to compete with Eintracht Frankfurt for Club Brugge’s Nigerian midfielder | OneFootball

HNB are reporting that Eintracht Frankfurt are facing competition for the signing of Raphael Onyedika. The Bundesliga club were in pole position to sign the talented Nigerian, but now it appears that Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad have made an offer. Club Brugge have rejected offers from both clubs now, with the side aiming for a fee of around €10m, something the Saudi club is likely able to afford if it so chooses.

Onyedika, a Nigerian international, has been an important player for Club Brugge over the past few seasons and it is not surprising that clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and Al Ittihad are interested in him. The 25-year-old, who joined the current Belgian champions from FC Midtjylland in the summer of 2022, has played 183 games for the side, scoring nine goals. If he does leave Club Brugge this summer, Onyedika will do so having won two Belgian Pro League titles, one domestic cup and one super cup.
