Trabzonspor Seek High Transfer Fee for Nwaeze Amid Interest from Other Clubs

Trabzonspor is reportedly seeking a fee of about €35 million to release centre‑back Chibuike Nwaiwu this summer, Completesports.com reports.

Nwaiwu joined the Black Sea Storm from Austrian side Wolfsberger AC in the January transfer window.

The 22‑year‑old quickly became a key player at Papara Park, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 16 league appearances.

He also played a vital role in Trabzonspor’s Turkish Cup‑winning campaign.

Trabzonspor Want €35m for Nwaiwu

According to Turkish outlet Taka Gazete, the club would consider a sale only if an offer exceeds €35 million.

The Nigeria international is viewed as a core member of the squad, yet the club is prepared to sanction a lucrative transfer if the valuation is met.

Trabzonspor has identified Gambian defender Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, who currently plays for Tromsø IL, as a potential replacement should Nwaiwu depart.

The club is reportedly willing to put forward a €7 million bid for Kinteh as it seeks a long‑term solution at the heart of its defence.

Fulham Interested in Defender

Premier League club Fulham has been linked with the defender, though it is unclear whether they would meet Trabzonspor’s high asking price.

With compatriots Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey already on Fulham’s books, Nwaiwu could find it easier to adapt if he moves to the London club.
