Galatasaray have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with another Super Eagles star.

Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray.

The 23-year-old joined Club Brugge from Midtjylland in the summer of 2022. He rose to prominence last season, scoring big goals and earning his Super Eagles debut. 

This placed him on the radar of top European clubs, of which the Turkish Champions are one, and they have entered active pursuit for him, with the Super Lig window set to close in two days.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Cim-Bom’s interest in the Nigerian is concrete, and they have already sent an official bid of €5 million, which was immediately rejected by the Blauw-Zwart, who value the former FC Ebedei man a lot higher.

They signed Onyedika for €9.5 million only two seasons ago, and he still has three years left on his current deal. According to the report, the Belgian side are looking to get at least €15 million for the midfielder.

While Galatasaray are still some way from reaching an agreement with Club Brugge, they are said to have sorted personal terms with the player, having offered him a five-year contract. 

It remains to be seen if the deal will go over the line before deadline day, but if it does, Onyedika would be joining his Super Eagles teammate, Victor Osimhen, who is the Cim-Bom's marquee signing of the transfer window
