TalkTalk Nigeria reports that Belgian champions Club Brugge have barred Raphael Onyedika from joining Galatasaray.

Galatasaray has already agreed to personal terms with Onyedika and is aiming to achieve an arrangement with Club Brugge.

According to Voetbalkrant.com, Club Brugge has rejected to transfer the Nigerian to the Turkish Super League winners.Osimhen at Galatasaray.

Brugge considered that finding a suitable successor for the defensive midfielder would be tough.

The transfer window in Belgium is also closed, so they cannot even sign a substitute.

Also, the UEFA Champions League registration period ended last Wednesday.

So the earliest Onyedika could be allowed to depart is in January, when the transfer window reopens.
