AC Milan will look to the Super Eagles as they prepare for life without midfield general Tijjani Reijnders.
The Rossoneri are resigned to losing the Netherlands international this summer, with a move to Manchester City all but agreed. Attention will now turn to replacing the impact and function of the 26-year-old, who was voted Serie A midfielder of the 2024/25 season.
According to a report in Gazzetta dello Sport, their candidate is Raphael Onyedika.
Onyedika: Can Super Eagles maestro replace Reijnders?
Club Brugge’s Onyedika was a shining light for the club, particularly in European competition where the Belgian side reached the Round of 16 of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League.
The Super Eagles midfielder is believed to be Milan’s choice if a deal for France international Adrien Rabiot does not materialise. In that eventuality, the 24-year-old would then join alongside teammate Maxime de Cuyper, who is expected to take the place of club favourite Theo Hernandez at left-back.
Powerful,Pace and Passing Ability 🔥
