Super Eagles current number-one left full-back Bruno Onyemaechi has become a hot target for clubs across Europe and the Americas, Soccernet.football reports.
The Boavista defender’s stellar performances this season have reportedly caught the attention of teams in Turkey, Italy, Brazil, the United States, and Mexico.
Onyemaechi played every available minute of Nigeria’s five 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games under Eguavoen, amassing an impressive 540 minutes on the pitch. This consistency, combined with his versatility, has made him a standout talent.
For Boavista, the left-footed star has excelled in multiple roles, including left-back, central defense, left midfield, and even as a winger.
Reports initially surfaced last month linking Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor with the 24-year-old, as they inquired about his availability ahead of the January transfer window.
Now, Portuguese outlet O Jogo has revealed that Onyemaechi has also attracted interest from clubs in Italy, Brazil, the USA, and Mexico.
Despite previous links to a Boavista exit, the Panthers’ struggles with registering new players have blocked potential moves in the past.
However, this January could finally see Onyemaechi make a switch, with his valuation standing at €3 million. This figure places him as the second most valuable player in Boavista’s squad.
The defender’s attacking contributions have been equally noteworthy this season. In 14 Liga Portugal matches, Onyemaechi has scored twice while thriving in a more advanced role under Boavista’s current system. His performances have not only showed his defensive solidity but also his ability to contribute in the final third.
Onyemaechi, formerly of CD Feirense, remains contracted to Boavista until the end of the 2025-2026 season.
With Trabzonspor leading the charge, the race for the Nigerian international is heating up, and a potential January move could mark the next chapter in his promising career.
