Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly close to reaching an agreement to sign Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika from Belgian champions Club Brugge, Bold Sports reports.
According to Foot Mercato, negotiations between the clubs are progressing well, with all parties confident that the deal will be concluded in the coming days. The Bundesliga side are expected to pay around €10 million to secure the Nigerian international’s signature.
Frankfurt’s interest in Onyedika is not new. The German club attempted to sign the midfielder last summer on a loan deal with an obligation to buy, but Club Brugge were unwilling to sanction his departure at the time.
After another impressive campaign in Belgium, however, the 25-year-old now appears set for a new challenge. Onyedika played a key role as Club Brugge lifted both the Belgian Pro League title and the Belgian Super Cup during the 2025/26 season, further enhancing his reputation as one of the league’s standout midfielders.

With his current contract running until 2027, this summer represents one of Brugge’s final opportunities to secure a transfer fee before the midfielder can leave for free.
Since joining Club Brugge from Danish side Midtjylland in 2022, Onyedika has established himself as one of the club’s most influential players. He has made 183 appearances across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing five assists while helping the club to multiple domestic honours.
Prior to his move to Belgium, the Nigerian featured 57 times for Midtjylland after emerging through the club’s ranks.
On the international stage, Onyedika has earned 26 caps for the Super Eagles, contributing three goals and one assist, and has become a regular presence in Nigeria’s midfield.
If the move is completed, Onyedika would become the latest Nigerian to feature in the Bundesliga, with Frankfurt securing a midfielder they have tracked for more than a year.
