The teenage sensation of Nigerian heritage has put pen to paper on fresh terms over extension with the Club, with his new deal set to take him through to 2029 at the Avnet Arena
2. Bundesliga club FC Magdeburg have announced a three-year contract extension with German-born Nigerian wonderkid Osayuki Ogieriakhi ahead of the January transfer window.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder, who linked up with the Magdeburg-based club academy system in the summer of 2025, has progressed magnificently from the U17 level to the U19 level, with such a splendid progression now earning him fresh terms by convincing the hierarchy of the German second-tier campaigners so far in his promising career as a youth star.
A statement over the contract extension of the versatile Nigeria-prospect attacking midfielder read: ''17-year-old midfielder Osayuki Ogieriakhi, who arrived in Magdeburg in the summer of 2025, and 1. FC Magdeburg are continuing their partnership. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has extended his contract early. Since his move to the city on the Elbe in the summer of 2025, the left-footed player has already gained experience with the club's U17 and U19 teams, as well as the U23 squad.''
The highly-rated prodigy had this to tell his club's official website: '’m delighted to be playing for the club beyond this season. My first appearance for the U23s at the Avnet Arena was a very special moment for me. I want to build on that, continue working hard, and earn the next steps with good performances.''
Sporting director Peer Jaekel added: ''Yuki possesses a special flair and a footballing talent that is rarely found in this form. Therefore, it's a strong signal for us that he's continuing his journey with 1. FC Magdeburg. Our aim is to retain our top talents within the club and offer them a real future. We are constantly creating better conditions, both on and off the pitch, to achieve this. This development is being noticed. We are all the more pleased that Yuki is convinced by our shared path and wants to take his next steps in his development with us."
The former Tennis Borussia Berlin Youth star has so far netted 3 goals in 12 appearances for FCM U19 across all competitions in this current camapign.
Given his Nigerian heritage, he could become a future star for the Super Eagles national football team at the senior level on the international stage in the near future.
