This represents a €4m rise from his €16m valuation in late 2024, reflecting the 23-year-old’s stellar performances for Belgian side Club Brugge this season.

Onyedika’s impressive displays have not gone unnoticed, with several prominent European clubs reportedly monitoring him closely ahead of a potential summer transfer.

Former Genk and Gent head coach, Hein Vanhaezebrouck, recently suggested that Club Brugge will likely face a battle to retain the highly-rated midfielder beyond the current season, acknowledging his exceptional qualities and the widespread attention he has garnered across Europe.

Club Brugge reportedly valued Onyedika at €20m last summer, but his continued strong performances and increased market valuation suggest they may demand an even higher fee when the transfer window reopens.

The dynamic midfielder has emerged as a highly sought-after talent in European football, with giants such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester City all credited with an interest in his services.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester City are particularly keen on acquiring Onyedika as potential cover and competition for their key midfielder Rodri, who has faced injury concerns.

The Nigerian international reportedly impressed City scouts with his standout performance against them in the UEFA Champions League, where he scored the opening goal in a thrilling encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

Onyedika’s rise to prominence is a testament to his journey from humble beginnings in Onitsha, Nigeria, where he revealed his family faced significant financial hardship.

He was spotted by the Ebedei academy, which has strong links with Danish club Midtjylland, providing him with his initial pathway into European football.

Following a loan spell at Fredericia in the Danish second division, he returned to Midtjylland before choosing Club Brugge over reported interest from AC Milan to further his development.

This season, the Super Eagles midfielder has contributed two goals and two assists in 45 appearances across all competitions and has been a key figure in Club Brugge’s impressive 20-game unbeaten run.

With over two years remaining on his current contract, Onyedika’s increasing market value and consistent performances indicate that Club Brugge could command a substantial transfer fee should they decide to sell their midfield linchpin this summer.
