Galatasaray are plotting an ambitious double move for Super Eagles pair Ademola Lookman and Raphael Onyedika as the Turkish champions look to strengthen their squad for another tilt at European football, though both deals present significant obstacles, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to Turkish outlet A Spor, Galatasaray have identified the two Nigerian internationals as priority targets this summer, a move that would see them add to an already formidable Nigerian contingent at the club following Victor Osimhen’s arrival from Napoli last year.
Of the two, Onyedika appears the more realistic prospect. The 25-year-old midfielder has decided against signing a new contract at Club Brugge, and with his current deal running until June 2027, the Belgian side are understood to be open to offers in the region of €20m to avoid losing their leverage as the contract winds down.
Galatasaray have maintained a long-standing interest in the Super Eagles midfielder, whose aggressive pressing and composure in possession have attracted attention from clubs across Europe. Aston Villa, West Ham United and Everton are also among those monitoring his situation.
