Club Brugge demand €40m for Raphael Onyedika as Fenerbahce renews interest, with West Ham and Leeds also monitoring the midfielder.
Club Brugge have firmly set a €40 million asking price for their Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika, as Turkish giants Fenerbahce show renewed interest in the player. The report, first revealed by Turkish sports outlet Fotomac, confirms that the Belgian club remains unmoved despite pressure from suitors.
Fenerbahce made attempts to sign Onyedika during last summer’s transfer window but negotiations hit a deadlock due to what they considered high demands from Club Brugge. Now, with the summer transfer market in full swing, Fenerbahce are making another attempt to bring the defensive midfielder to Istanbul.
Despite their persistence, Club Brugge has refused to reduce their asking price. The club sees Onyedika as a key asset and is only willing to part ways if their €40 million valuation is met.
The Nigerian international has continued to attract attention from several clubs, with English sides like West Ham United and Leeds United also monitoring the situation closely. His performance and development since joining Club Brugge from Danish side FC Midtjylland in 2022 have only strengthened his profile on the European football stage.
At 23, Onyedika’s mix of defensive composure and passing range makes him an ideal target for clubs looking to strengthen their midfield. Fenerbahce remain confident about their chances of sealing the deal, but unless they are prepared to meet Club Brugge’s conditions, a transfer may remain out of reach.
