Club Brugge have reportedly turned down multiple offers from Turkish giants Galatasaray for Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika.

Galatasaray have tracked Onyedika for some time and remain keen on securing his services, but the Belgian champions have consistently rebuffed their advances.

While Club Brugge are not opposed to selling the midfielder outright, they are unwilling to sanction a move unless their valuation is met.

A January transfer appears unlikely unless Galatasaray submit an offer that is deemed irresistible. The situation could evolve in the summer, although Onyedika is still under contract with Club Brugge until 2027, giving the Belgian club a strong negotiating position.

However, with growing interest in the 24-year-old and no indication yet that he is ready to commit to a contract extension, Galatasaray may hope that patience could eventually pay off. Should Onyedika decline a new deal, a move away from Belgium at the end of the season could become more realistic.

Since joining Club Brugge from FC Midtjylland in 2022, Onyedika has established himself as a key figure in midfield. He has made 165 appearances for the club, scoring eight goals, and has played an integral role in their domestic success.

The Nigerian international previously won the Danish league title and cup with Midtjylland and has since added Belgian league and cup honours to his trophy collection with Club Brugge.
