Raphael Onyedika, a midfielder for Club Brugge, has agreed personal terms with Galatasaray, according to reports in Turkey. The Turkish champions are now negotiating with the Belgian club over a transfer fee.
The 24-year-old Nigerian accepted Galatasaray’s offer after the club failed to sign Yves Bissouma from Tottenham.
“Onyedika has accepted Galatasaray’s offer,” Turkish outlet Fanatik reported. “Talks have now started with Club Brugge, with the club proposing a loan deal including a mandatory buy option.”
Galatasaray’s offer is believed to include:
However, Club Brugge reportedly want €25 million for Onyedika, who joined them in 2022. The player is open to leaving and is said to be excited about playing for Galatasaray.
Onyedika has also caught the attention of West Ham United, who are looking for a possible replacement for Edson Álvarez.
Meanwhile, Club Brugge are under pressure to hold on to key players. Defender Joel Ordoñez is pushing for a move to Marseille, and forward Christos Tzolis was recently the subject of a €32 million bid from Crystal Palace, which was turned down.
A decision on Onyedika’s move to Galatasaray is expected soon.
