Juventus eye move for Trabzonspor midfielder Christ Inao Oulai

Juventus are being linked with a move for Ivory Coast midfielder Christ Inao Oulai, who has emerged as one of Trabzonspors most highly rated young players.

The 20-year-old central midfielder, who is right-footed and stands at 1.73m, is currently valued at 23m and has seen his valuation rise sharply during his time in Turkeys Super Lig.

Oulai joined Trabzonspor from French side SC Bastia in August 2025, less than a year after moving to Europe from JMG Academy Abidjan in his homeland, and has made a rapid impact since arriving in Trabzon.

His market value has climbed from 300,000 at Bastia in March 2025 to 17m by March 2026, before reaching its current 23m in May, underlining the scale of his development over the past year.

Oulai, born in Yopougon in April 2006, plays primarily as a central midfielder and represents a profile consistent with Juventus long-term strategy of targeting emerging talent from outside the traditional European powerhouses.

No agreement has been reached between the clubs and the situation remains at the rumour stage, with Oulai continuing as a Trabzonspor player while Juventus monitor his progress.
