Raphael Onyedika Has Been Impressive For Club Brugge So Far
According to Belgian sports outlet Voetbal 24, Crystal Palace scouts have been actively monitoring Onyedika’s performances this season, keeping a close watch on his development and impact on the pitch.
His agility, ball control, and ability to break down opposition play have made him an asset for Brugge and a rising name on the transfer market.
Reports suggest that Club Brugge is open to offers around €30 million for the talented midfielder once the January transfer window opens.
Despite some on-field disciplinary issues, Onyedika’s raw talent and potential make him an attractive prospect, with scouts from various clubs continuing to take interest.
Earlier attempts to acquire the Nigerian star fell short, with Galatasaray’s €15 million bid over the summer transfer window reportedly failing to meet Brugge’s valuation.
As the January window approaches, it remains to be seen if Crystal Palace or other top clubs will match Brugge’s asking price for Raphael Onyedika and secure the services of one of Nigeria’s promising young talents.
