Beninese central defender Olivier Verdon, who recently celebrated a championship victory with Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad, appears set to make a significant move this summer. The 28-year-old, who has impressed throughout the season, is attracting serious interest from Turkish giants Trabzonspor.
According to sources close to Africafoot, Trabzonspor has already initiated contact with Verdon’s representatives.
The Turkish club, which narrowly missed out on a top-three finish in the Süper Lig, is eager to bolster its squad as it prepares for European competition next season.
Verdon, who has been a key player for Ludogorets, featured in 24 matches this season, scoring one goal and receiving two yellow cards.
His consistent performances have not gone unnoticed, and his market value is currently estimated at around 2.5 million euros.
The proposed transfer fee to bring him to Turkey is expected to be slightly higher, at approximately 2.7 million euros.
A move to Trabzonspor would mark a significant step in Verdon’s career, offering him the chance to showcase his talents on a larger European stage.
For Trabzonspor, securing the services of a player of Verdon’s calibre would be a strategic acquisition, aimed at strengthening their defensive line and enhancing their competitiveness both domestically and in Europe.
As the summer transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether Trabzonspor can finalize the deal and bring Olivier Verdon to the Turkish league, further enhancing their squad depth and ambitions for the upcoming season.
