The 25-year-old Super Eagles midfielder has signed a contract that will keep him at the Bundesliga club until June 30, 2031, in a deal reportedly worth around €10 million (more than ₦15 billion).
Confirming the transfer, Eintracht Frankfurt said:
“Eintracht Frankfurt and Club Brugge have reached an agreement for the transfer of Raphael Onyedika. The Nigerian international will receive a contract until June 30, 2031, and will wear the number 25 jersey.”
Speaking after the announcement, Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krösche, explained why the club targeted the Nigerian midfielder.
“Raphael Onyedika impresses us not only with his robustness and strategic understanding of the game, but above all with his exceptional consistency. He has been a regular starter for several years and has celebrated numerous titles in Belgium.
“Furthermore, he possesses valuable international experience. At 25 years old, he still has great potential for development and is also an important building block for the structure of our squad.”
Onyedika arrives in Germany after an impressive spell with Club Brugge, where he won two Belgian league titles, as well as the Belgian Cup and Belgian Super Cup. Before moving to Belgium, he also lifted the Danish Cup with FC Midtjylland.
