The Bundesliga side are understood to have identified the Super Eagles star as one of their primary midfield targets following his impressive performances for Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Frankfurt have reportedly opened talks over a potential transfer and are keen to conclude a deal before the new campaign gets underway.

Onyedika over the last couple of years, has developed into one of Europe’s most reliable defensive midfielders since arriving at Club Brugge.

His ability to break up opposition attacks, dictate the tempo of matches, and shield the back line has earned him widespread praise, while his consistent displays have also cemented his place in Nigeria’s national team.

However, Frankfurt are expected to face stiff competition for the 25-year-old, with several European and non European clubs monitoring his situation, Al Hilal has stood out of recent times as top contenders for the Nigerian International.

Club Brugge are also in no rush to part ways with one of their key players and are expected to demand a significant transfer fee of around £10m before sanctioning any move.

For Frankfurt, signing Onyedika would provide experience, athleticism, and defensive stability in midfield as they prepare to compete on multiple fronts this season. The club remains hopeful that negotiations with Club Brugge will progress positively in the coming weeks.

With the transfer window still open, Onyedika’s future is likely to remain one of the most closely watched stories involving Nigerian players in Europe.
