Rafiu Durosinmi: Trabzonspor linked with move for Pisa’s Nigerian striker

Nigerian centre-forward Rafiu Durosinmi of Pisa is being linked with a summer move to Turkish side Trabzonspor, with the Serie A club reportedly braced for interest in the 23-year-old.

Born in Lagos on 1 January 2003, Durosinmi stands at 1.92m and operates primarily as a central striker, playing with his right foot. He currently wears the number 17 shirt for Pisa, who are now in Serie A, but key details around his deal in Tuscany – including when he joined and when his contract expires – are not listed, fuelling speculation he could yet become available as a free agent if no extension is agreed.

Transfermarkt values Durosinmi at €7.00m, a figure likely to form the basis of any negotiations should Trabzonspor turn their interest into a formal offer. The rumour, dated 25 June 2026, is currently rated with a probability symbol of “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early and uncertain stage.

The move would see Durosinmi swap Italy’s top flight for the Süper Lig, with Trabzonspor understood to be in the market for a physically imposing No 9. The Nigerian’s profile – a tall, athletic centre-forward capable of leading the line – fits that brief.

Recent match data lists Durosinmi as part of Pisa’s attack in Serie A, although specific competitive figures around goals and assists have not been detailed in the latest data set. There is also no mention of senior international caps for Nigeria, meaning his reputation has so far been built at club level.

If a deal materialises, a switch from Pisa to Trabzonspor could provide Durosinmi with a major platform in Turkey to elevate his market value, sharpen his reputation in European competition and shape the next phase of a promising career.
