The coach of Belgium side Club Brugge Nicky Hayen says there is a huge chance that Nigeria international midfielder Frank Onyedika will leave the club before the close of the summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Onyedika has been linked with an exit from the club after a whirlwind season last time out, and Spanish giants Barcelona are among the teams looking at him and he acknowledged the attention in an interview.
“It’s really flattering when you see these names, this calibre of clubs getting interested in your services”, he told SportsBoom.com.
“You know straight away you’re doing the right thing, and that’s why these talks keep coming.
“I only concentrate on playing my game, and not necessarily who’s talking. Much of these I do not decide on my own, you know.. My agent will have to look at everything, and at the end decide what is best for all parties.”
Reacting to the speculations of a possible move away for the nine caps Nigeria international, the coach who has sparingly used the Nigerian in the three games they have played following the resumption of the Belgium league revealed that a possible exit is on the cards.
“That chance is real,” he said at his press conference, according to Het Nieuwsblad. “At the end of last season, that was also the case. We work with the players who are there and our homework has already been done (Ardon Jashari has already been signed, ed.).”
“Onyedika was a bit sick last week and is still not 100 percent fit. But he has already shown what value he has for the team. So I hope we can enjoy that for a while,” he concluded on Onyedika’s possible departure.
