Previous AC Milan target Raphael Onyedika has signed for Club Brugge on a permanent deal, putting an end to any chance of joining the Rossoneri.
The transfer was announced by the Belgian champions on Sunday, and the Nigerian midfielder has signed a contract until 2027.
Milan were very serious about buying him from FC Midtjylland earlier in the month but they had more than one bid rejected by the Danish side.
One bid was for €4 million and it quickly became clear that FC Midtjylland wanted to receive at least double that for the midfielder.
The 21-year-old has been in the first team since 2020 but spent a year on loan at Fredericia. He is viewed as a very promising talent for the future and Club Brugge could be a much better stepping stone for him.
Milan had already turned their attention to other targets such as Bordeaux’s Jean Onana.
