Club Brugge Plan To Tie Down Raphael Onyedika

Raphael Onyedika has been at Club Brugge for the last four years, and he has made a name for himself. He has been a consistent top performer for the Belgian giants, and that has seen him attract clubs in bigger leagues.

Bundesliga clubs Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt have been touted as potential destinations, while Premier League teams like West Ham and Aston Villa have been linked with the Super Eagles star.

Cyriel Dessers Ruled Out For Remainder of 2025/26 Season

Cyriel Dessers’ season has come to an early end following surgery on a thigh injury. The Nigerian striker suffered the injury during the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

Initial attempts at conservative rehabilitation failed after he felt discomfort during training. The Panathinaikos forward underwent the procedure abroad to resolve a damaged thigh tendon.

He is expected to remain sidelined until July, missing the remainder of the current season. The injury is a blow for Panathinaikos, where Dessers had made a strong initial impact.

Since joining from Rangers, he had scored important goals in both the league and cup. The 29-year-old is now targeting a return for the 2026/2027 pre-season campaign. Read more here.

Barcelona Could Sell Some Star Players to Fund Victor Osimhen’s Purchase

Barcelona are exploring ways to secure a high-profile signing like Victor Osimhen to lead their frontline for the next few years.

But due to strict financial regulations and the significant cost of the move, the club must balance their books by offloading several key squad members.

This strategy involves identifying players with high market value or those whose departure would significantly alleviate the current wage burden.

​Several key figures have been identified as potential candidates to be moved on to generate the necessary capital. These include a highly-rated defensive mainstay, a high-earning midfield regular, and a veteran forward whose exit would free up both a starting position and a substantial portion of the budget. So who are the players that could be sold to fund Osimhen’s purchase? Read more here.
