After an impressive season, Ivorian left-back Christopher Opéri is attracting serious interest from Turkey, with Istanbul Basakséhir leading the chase for the 27-year-old’s signature.
Reports from Foot Mercato reveal that negotiations between Basakséhir and Le Havre AC have been underway for the past ten days, though no agreement has been reached yet.
Opéri, who has been a standout performer for Le Havre this season, has featured 13 times in Ligue 1, contributing 2 assists to his team’s strong campaign. His commanding performances have earned him a reputation as one of the league’s top defenders.
Under contract with Le Havre until June 2026, Opéri’s market value stands at €4 million, according to Transfermarkt. With talks now underway, it looks increasingly likely that the talented full-back could swap his Le Havre shirt for a new challenge in Turkey when the January transfer window opens. As negotiations continue, both clubs will be keen to secure the deal that could mark a key move in Opéri’s promising career.
