24-year-old Nigerian defensive midfielder, Raphael Onyedika, could be getting closer to Milan ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. This was reported exclusively by the outlet 'Africafoot':
"On Tuesday, West Ham contacted Club Brugge and is ready to start negotiations, as they are willing to sell for the right price. Milan was the first to approach, but it will be difficult for them to meet the €24 million valuation. Personal relations with Raphael Onyedika should not be a problem, given that the player wants to play in the Premier League." As can be seen, the Rossoneri made the first move, but for now West Ham appears to be in pole position.
He himself, moreover, had made some statements to 'Sportsboom.com' regarding Milan’s interest:
"I don’t know what the future holds for me. Right now, I am very happy at Club Brugge. I am focused on doing my best and helping the team progress to the next level. I love the club, the fans, and everything about the environment here. At the moment, I am fully committed to the present and I don’t have any plans beyond this. My only goal is to keep giving my best for the team," as relayed via PianetaMilan.it.
