# Raphael Onyedika signs for Eintracht Frankfurt > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/club-brugge-transfer-negotiations > Updated: 2026-08-04T18:26:43.000Z. Sources: 47. Developments: 6. Raphael Onyedka’s permanent move from Club Brugge to Eintracht Frankfurt was completed on 31 July 2024 for a reported €9 million fee and a five‑year contract running to 2031. The fee was noted as being well below his market value, and sporting director Markus Krösche had been tracking the midfielder since the previous summer, securing the deal as Onyedika entered the final year of his Brugge contract. The 25‑year‑old, who began his career at the FC Ebedei academy in Shagamu, Nigeria, progressed through Danish side FC Midtjylland before joining Brugge in 2022. He amassed 183 appearances for the Belgian club, scoring nine goals and providing six assists while helping them win multiple domestic titles and compete in the Champions League. Onyedika thanked Brugge fans on Instagram, recalling the European nights, and expressed strong motivation at his Frankfurt press conference in August 2026. He praised the club’s recent Europa League triumph, highlighted the warm welcome from teammates and coach Adi Hütter, and reaffirmed his commitment to play aggressively, win back possession quickly, and continue his development as a key building block in Frankfurt’s push back to the Champions League. ## Claims - The transfer fee is an initial €9 million, potentially rising to €10 million with performance‑related add‑ons.
