According to Bild, Raphael Onyedika is edging closer to a Bundesliga move as Eintracht Frankfurt’s latest offer isn’t far from Club Brugge’s valuation. The Eagles saw their first two offers declined by the Belgian champions

The Champions League regulars are demanding €10 million, while Frankfurt are reportedly working to finalize the transfer for €8 million. Club Brugge were asking €30 million for the defensive midfielder last year, but they had to settle for a third of that sum now with his contract set to run out next summer.

Bild also reported the player has already reached total agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt. Adi Hütter’s side completed their first marquee signing of the summer on Saturday with fellow midfielder Noel Aseko joining them from FC Bayern for around €13 million.

Onyedika played 42 games in all competitions for Club Brugge last season. The Nigerian joined the club from FC Midtjylland for a reported €9.5 million back in 2022. His countryman Jay-Jay Okocha is still a fan favorite at Eintracht Frankfurt after his four-year spell at the start of a decorated career.
