Trabzonspor have rejected an €11m bid for Nigeria international striker Paul Onuachu, who finished joint top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig last season. The 30-year-old forward remains in high demand from Saudi clubs, with additional approaches anticipated. Despite prior interest from Al-Ahli during January, the club has not moved on Onuachu, as Trabzonspor’s president confirmed offers for seven players but expects only one or two departures this summer. Head coach Fatih Tekke is reportedly open to Onuachu’s exit to pursue a more mobile attacking option. Onuachu enjoyed a prolific campaign, scoring 22 league goals and sharing the top-scorer award, plus two goals in the Turkish Cup final, reinforcing his appeal to potential suitors.
Key takeaways:
– Onuachu’s €11m rejection underscores continued transfer interest from Saudi clubs.
– Trabzonspor plans to refresh the attack by potentially letting him go for a more mobile forward.
– The striker’s strong 2023/24 season, with 22 league goals and a Turkish Cup final brace, elevates his market value.
