Awoniyi signed for club Liverpool at a fee of about $496,074 and within no time, he was loaned to German team FSV Frankfurt. In his debut at Frankfurt, he came in as a substitute in a match against Hertha Berlin.
He was a substitute for six league matches, going under relegation with Frankfurt, and returning to his former club Liverpool. In 2016, he was confirmed to have joined a Dutch Club NEC on a season-long loan, expected to join the squad the week after, once his working permit was processed.
He made a debut for NEC losing to Eredivisie, being replaced by Michael Heinloth in the 72nd minute, and suffering another relegation from Eredivisie in 2017. In mid-July, he left NEC joining Belgian club Royal Excel Mouscron on a long-season loan.

Three months after recovery, he joined Union Berlin for one year on a loan. After a few months in the club, he secured a permanent basis at Club Berlin receiving a fee of $8.1 million, Liverpool asked for a 10% sell-on clause in this deal.
