Rafael Onyedike was in the spotlight to earn millions this summer, but Club Brugge have turned their backs on the midfielder.
Now Blauw-Zwart wants to keep the Nigerian vacuum cleaner and coach Nicky Hayen also hopes Onyedika stays at Club Brugge. In a press conference, the coach spoke about his pupil.
Strong holder
Onyedika was unwell against Standard Liège and was clearly absent. The Rouches eventually won 1-0. Heine is aware of the importance of the Nigerian and hopes he will stay with the national champions. “It’s no secret that he is one of our most important players,” he was quoted as saying. The newspaper.
Now Onyedika can only leave the club for the ultimate prize. “That may be the case, but we need alternatives when we can’t count on Rafa. We’ll see what happens. It doesn’t mean he wants to leave completely. He’s happy with us and playing in the Champions League. But of course if a team comes along you can’t refuse him…”
Difficult start
So Hayen keeps the door open for a transfer for Onyedika. There is talk of a transfer fee of around twenty million euros. The question remains whether interested clubs want to put that on the table.
Club Brugge have already started the season badly with a score of one out of six. Opponents KRC Genk have also started the Jupiler Pro League disastrously. Both clubs look directly at each other in the third round.
