Galatasaray have set their sights on another Super Eagles talent, with Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika now high on their transfer list after reports in Turkey claimed he has been recommended by Victor Osimhen, Footynaija.com reports.
Onyedika has been in the transfer conversation for much of the year. He attracted interest from Manchester City, AC Milan and Paris Saint Germain, and Real Betis also followed him closely.
Club Brugge placed a high valuation on him, and he recently made it clear that he is focused on the Belgian club for now. His progress in Europe has been steady since leaving FC Midtjylland and FC Fredericia for Brugge in 2022, and a strong Champions League outing where he scored against Manchester City helped strengthen his profile.

The update also noted that Osimhen, who scored a brace against Samsunspor on Friday, is a major reference in the club’s push to sign his fellow Nigerian.
The claim points to the growing role of the Super Eagles striker behind the scenes and suggests he may have played a hands-on part in driving Galatasaray’s interest in Onyedika to the top of their upcoming transfer priorities.
