German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt have completed the signing of Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika from Belgian champions Club Brugge.
The 25-year-old Super Eagles midfielder has signed a contract until June 30, 2031, in a deal worth around €10 million (over N15 billion).
“Eintracht Frankfurt and Club Brugge have reached an agreement for the transfer of Raphael Onyedika. The Nigerian international will receive a contract until June 30, 2031, and will wear the number 25 jersey,” the club announced.
Following the announcement, sporting director Markus Krosche spoke to the official website of Frankfurt, explaining exactly why the German club decided to sign the Super Eagles midfielder.
“Raphael Onyedika impresses us not only with his robustness and strategic understanding of the game, but above all with his exceptional consistency. He has been a regular starter for several years and has celebrated numerous titles in Belgium,” Krösche said.
“Furthermore, he possesses valuable international experience. At 25 years old, he still has great potential for development and is also an important building block for the structure of our squad.
The defensive midfielder has a total of 268 senior appearances, including 24 in the UEFA Champions League over the past three seasons.
Onyedika won the Belgian championship twice with Bruges and, in addition to the Belgian Cup and Super Cup, also won the Danish Cup with FC Midtjylland, his first club abroad.
