New Target After Osimhen! Galatasaray Pursues Another Nigerian Star and Pushes for Transfer
Galatasaray continues to ramp up its transfer efforts and has now set its sights on Victor Osimhen’s teammate from the Nigerian national team. The star player has reached an agreement with Galatasaray and has requested his club to allow the transfer.
As the end of the transfer window approaches, Galatasaray is becoming increasingly active. The Yellow-Reds have been in talks to sign Nicola Zalewski and are planning to add another player to strengthen their squad.
Midfield Reinforcement Targeted
In addition to a left-wing reinforcement, Galatasaray aims to bolster their midfield. After signing Gabriel Sara during the transfer window, the club is looking to make another addition to strengthen this area.
Galatasaray Starts Negotiations for Raphael Onyedika!
The latest name on Galatasaray’s radar for a midfield signing is Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge. While the Yellow-Reds are keen to bring the Nigerian player to their squad, it is noted that while there is no issue on the player’s side, reaching an agreement with his club will not be easy.
5-Year Agreement Reached
According to Sacha Tavolieri, Galatasaray has agreed on a 5-year contract with Raphael Onyedika. The Nigerian player has expressed his desire to transfer to Galatasaray.
First Offer Rejected by Club Brugge
Although an agreement has been reached with the player, Club Brugge rejected Galatasaray’s initial offer. The Belgian club, which signed Onyedika from Midtjylland for a transfer fee of 9.5 million Euros in the summer of 2022, does not want to let go of their star player, who is under contract until 2027, so easily.
Sacha Tavolieri mentioned that Raphael Onyedika, who has reached an agreement with Galatasaray, is eager for the transfer to happen. The Nigerian player has called on his club to negotiate a deal.
Teammates with Osimhen in the Nigerian National Team
Raphael Onyedika is a teammate of Galatasaray’s star signing Victor Osimhen in the Nigerian national team. Recently, Onyedika commented with a heart emoji on Osimhen’s Instagram post after his transfer to Galatasaray, signaling his support for the move.
