Turkish outfit Trabzonspor turn down €11m offer for Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu

Turkish club Trabzonspor have reportedly turned down an €11 million offer for Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu, amid growing interest from the Saudi Pro League.

According to reports, the bid came from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, but was swiftly rejected as Trabzonspor remain determined to retain one of their most influential attacking players.

Onuachu enjoyed a highly productive season in the Turkish Super Lig, where he finished as joint top scorer, underlining his importance to the Trabzonspor attack. His aerial dominance, physical presence, and clinical finishing made him one of the standout forwards in the league.

The Nigerian international’s performances have not gone unnoticed, with several clubs in Saudi Arabia now monitoring his situation closely. The Saudi Pro League continues to attract high-profile players from Europe, and Onuachu is believed to be among the latest names on their shortlist.

Despite the growing interest, Trabzonspor are reportedly unwilling to part ways with the striker for the current offer, valuing his contribution both on and off the pitch. The club considers him a key figure in their plans for the upcoming season and is expected to resist further low bids.

For Onuachu, the interest from the Middle East presents another potential career option, but any move would likely depend on improved financial terms and Trabzonspor’s willingness to negotiate.

The 30-year-old forward has previously played in Belgium and England, and has built a reputation as a reliable goal scorer capable of influencing matches in multiple leagues. His adaptability and consistent scoring record continue to make him an attractive target in the transfer market.

With the summer window heating up, further developments are expected as Saudi clubs weigh up whether to return with an improved offer. For now, however, Trabzonspor’s firm stance signals that any departure will require a significantly higher bid.
