Africafoot: Milan reignite pursuit of Club Brugge star – agency confirms player is keen
AC Milan are interested in signing Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge ahead of the summer after having had a previous bid rejected, a report claims.
According to Africafoot sources, Milan have opened talks with Brugge and Onyedika himself over a move during the summer transfer window, as they look to add a more defensive-minded midfielder to the department.
Milan initially expressed interest in the 23-year-old last summer but they were met with a €24m asking price which they did not pay. Technical director Geoffrey Moncada ‘is a big fan of the player’ as per the report.
The Nigeria international has a contract until 2027 with the Belgian side, and the Rossoneri submitted an initial offer of €18m. A source within CAA Stellar, the player’s agency, confirmed that have come back in.
“He (Onyedika) is high on AC Milan’s shortlist, and they have expressed their interest in both the player and his team,” the source said.
“They initially offered €18m, which will likely be rejected, as Club Bruges value him much more than that. Raphael is interested in the transfer, but it will depend on the clubs’ ability to reach an agreement.”
However, it seems as though there will be strong competition to land the player. Africafoot report that Paris Saint-Germain, Porto and Bayern Munich are all keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, who was sent off at San Siro in the Champions League meeting with Milan this season.
The Rossoneri were linked with the then-Midtjylland star in the 2022 summer window, before Brugge won the race by meeting their asking price, ironically after receiving the funds from Charles De Ketelaere’s sale.
