Tunisian midfielder Anis Ben Slimane has become the subject of significant attention in Turkey, particularly from Süper Lig side Trabzonspor. The 22-year-old, born in Copenhagen, has found his name on the radar of the Turkish club, with an official offer on the table.
Despite currently nursing an injury, Ben Slimane remains a coveted prospect for Trabzonspor, who have been closely monitoring the midfielder for an extended period.
As the club sits in the 5th position in the Süper Lig, they are keen to bolster their midfield ranks to enhance their competitive edge and achieve their season objectives.
In pursuit of this goal, the club management, which boasts recent African Champion Nicolas Pépé among its ranks, has extended a lucrative proposal – a paying loan of €500,000 with a subsequent purchase option amounting to €4 million.
Negotiations between the concerned parties are ongoing as Trabzonspor seeks to secure the services of the talented Tunisian midfielder.
On the other side of the equation, Sheffield United, currently positioned at the bottom of the Premier League with 13 points, has yet to formally comment on the news.
The English club, where Ben Slimane has plied his trade since his recruitment from Brondby IF for €2 million last summer, is determined to retain the promising Carthage Eagles talent.
Despite the interest from Trabzonspor, Sheffield United is keen on keeping Ben Slimane in England, emphasizing his integral role in the squad.
Before his recent injury setback, Ben Slimane featured in 11 appearances for Sheffield United. Since earning his Tunisian international cap on October 9, 2020, the midfielder has scored four goals in 34 national team appearances.
As the transfer saga unfolds, the football community awaits the resolution of negotiations, eager to see whether Ben Slimane will continue his journey in England or embark on a new chapter in the Süper Lig.
