It appears almost certain that Club Brugge will not be able to resist the transfer offerings that they will receive for midfielder, Raphael Onyedika, in the summer transfer window.

The Nigerian international, who has been in sensational form since joining from Danish club, FC Midtjylland, once again demonstrated why he is in high demand, scoring a brace, including a goal-of-the-season contender in his team's victory over Anderlecht.

The 22-year-old Onyedika appears destined for a summer departure, prompting Club Brugge to secure the services of Luzern midfielder, Ardon Jashari, to fill the void he will leave.

As the transfer talks regarding the future of the Super Eagles midfielder continue, a report from Dutch outlet, Voetbalnieuws, has suggested a host of Premier League clubs are keen to battle Turkish club, Galatasaray, for his signature.

Premier League clubs to battle for Onyedika

According to the report, the versatile midfielder is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest.

This interest adds to that of Turkish Super Lig giants, Galatasaray. Onyedika, whom Club Brugge signed for around €10 million in 2022, is now expected to command fees estimated at €15mil.

The Super Eagles star was also linked with a move to Barcelona in the previous transfer window.

With Brugge announcing the signing of Jashari just last week, it appears increasingly likely that the departure of the Nigerian is inevitable.

However, the club he would prefer to join in the summer remains a topic that divides opinions among many.

Juventus wants Boniface and another Nigerian star

In another report, Sports Brief stated that Juventus are looking to sign two Nigerian forwards in the summer transfer window.

The Serie A side aims to bolster their squad ahead of the 2024-25 season. Juventus are poised to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for the next season.

A number of players are expected to depart the club, with others keen to join in the summer window.
