Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika is on the verge of joining Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, following an agreement with Club Brugge regarding his transfer, Naija Footy reports.
This deal is valued at approximately €9 million, and the midfielder is expected to undergo a medical before linking up with Frankfurt’s squad.
Onyedika is set to sign a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030, offering him an opportunity to advance his European career, which began in Denmark before moving to Belgium. At 25, he brings significant experience, including participation in the Champions League and earning domestic honors with Club Brugge.
Since his move from Midtjylland to Club Brugge in 2022, Onyedika’s market value has significantly increased. Transfermarkt currently estimates the defensive midfielder’s worth at €23 million, with the latest valuation updated in June 2026. This makes the reported €9 million transfer fee particularly noteworthy, emphasizing the potential Frankfurt sees in him.
During the 2025/26 season, the Nigerian was a key player for Club Brugge. He made 30 appearances in the Belgian First Division, starting in 22 of those games, and scored one goal across 1,997 league minutes. Additionally, he featured 10 times in the Champions League, netting twice and assisting two goals, as per Opta Analyst.
These performances explain why Frankfurt considers Onyedika a valuable midfield option. His skills in winning possession, covering ground, and distributing the ball from deep positions have made him indispensable at Club Brugge, where he has been a standout since arriving from Midtjylland. The Belgian club’s profile also praises his passing ability and tactical intelligence.
For Onyedika, a move to the Bundesliga represents a chance to compete against top-tier opponents and establish himself in one of Europe’s leading leagues. With 26 caps and three goals for Nigeria already under his belt, consistent play at Frankfurt could enhance his role in the Super Eagles lineup. Should the medical assessment and final documentation proceed without a hitch, the Nigerian midfielder will soon embark on a new chapter in Germany.
