Published on: 04 August 2024

Club Brugge manager, Nicky Hayen has acknowledged that Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika may leave the club this summer, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 23 year-old has attracted interest from an unnamed Saudi club, which has reportedly offered €20 million for his services.

Hayen confirmed that Onyedika's departure is a "real possibility" during a press conference on Friday. "At the end of last season, there was also talk of that. We are working with the players who are there, and our homework has been done by now," he said.

Onyedika joined Club Brugge from FC Midtylland in 2022 and scored three goals in 33 league appearances last season.

Premier League and Spanish clubs are also believed to be interested in the player.

His potential departure would mark a significant transfer move for the Belgian champions.
