Brighton & Hove Albion FC have dismissed reports suggesting that Nigerian youngster Zadok Yohanna will leave the club on loan ahead of the new season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Speculation had circulated in recent days linking the promising forward with a temporary move away from the Premier League side, but sources close to the club have described the claims as false.

Brighton have reiterated that Yohanna remains part of their plans for the upcoming campaign and is expected to take part fully in pre-season preparations.

The club is said to have strong confidence in the youngster’s development and views him as an important part of its long-term project.

With no loan move currently being considered, Yohanna will continue his progression at the club as he looks to impress the coaching staff and compete for opportunities in the new season.

The clarification effectively ends rumours of an imminent departure, with the forward set to remain at Brighton for the foreseeable future.

Chibuike Nwaiwu has attracted growing transfer attention following an impressive breakthrough spell at Trabzonspor, with the Turkish side reportedly placing a €35 million valuation on the defender ahead of the summer transfer window, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 22-year-old only joined Trabzonspor from Austrian club Wolfsberger AC during the January transfer window but has quickly established himself as a key figure in the squad. He impressed in the second half of the season, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 16 league appearances, while also playing an important role in the club’s Turkish Cup success.

According to Turkish outlet Taka Gazete, Trabzonspor are open to considering offers, but only if clubs meet their €35 million asking price. The club also view the Nigerian as a long-term asset and are not under pressure to sell.

However, reports suggest Trabzonspor have already begun planning for a possible departure, with Gambian defender Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh of Tromsø IL identified as a potential replacement. The Turkish club is reportedly considering a €7 million bid for the youngster.

Interest in Nwaiwu is growing across Europe, with Premier League side Fulham FC among the clubs monitoring his situation. A move to Craven Cottage could see him link up with fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.

Despite the speculation, Trabzonspor remain firm on their valuation, and any potential transfer will depend on a club meeting their €35 million demand.

With his rapid rise in Turkey, Nwaiwu’s future is expected to be one of the key talking points as the transfer window progresses.

Samuel Chukwueze could be set for a potential departure from AC Milan this summer, as the Serie A side are reportedly willing to listen to offers while assessing their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Nigerian winger has returned to Milan following the end of his loan spell at Premier League club Fulham FC, where he impressed with three goals and four assists in 23 league appearances. During his time in London, he also linked up effectively with fellow Nigerians Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.

Despite his solid performances, Fulham opted not to activate the reported €26 million buy option included in the loan agreement, although discussions between the two clubs over a possible revised deal are believed to have taken place without reaching an agreement.

Chukwueze is expected to report for pre-season training with AC Milan, but his long-term future remains uncertain amid ongoing changes within the club’s technical structure.

Italian journalist Luca Cerchione noted that Milan consider the winger a “sellable asset” and would be open to his departure if a suitable offer arrives, although he is not among the players actively being pushed out of the squad.

The 26-year-old joined AC Milan from Villarreal in 2023 for around €20 million and has struggled to cement a regular starting role, despite showing flashes of his attacking quality.

With two years remaining on his contract, Milan are expected to carefully evaluate any incoming offers as they balance squad depth with financial planning.

A possible move could offer Chukwueze a fresh start and more consistent playing time as he continues to prepare for Nigeria’s upcoming international commitments.

German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have intensified their efforts to sign Nigerian defender Emmanuel Fernandez from Scottish giants Rangers, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

According to TEAMtalk, the Bundesliga club have made fresh contact with Rangers regarding a potential move for the centre-back, who enjoyed an outstanding campaign at Ibrox last season.

Fernandez joined Rangers from English League One outfit Peterborough United last summer and quickly established himself as one of the club’s most influential players. The defender was named Rangers’ Player of the Season after a remarkable debut campaign in which he also contributed five goals.

His impressive performances earned him a place in the PFA Team of the Year and attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe.

Fellow Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund are also reportedly monitoring the Nigerian international, while Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham United and Everton have all been credited with an interest in the defender.

Rangers are believed to value Fernandez at around €25 million, representing a substantial increase on the £3.5 million fee they paid Peterborough United to secure his signature.

With interest continuing to grow, discussions are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as Bayer Leverkusen explore the possibility of reaching an agreement for the highly-rated defender.

Nigerian striker Toyosi Olusanya has completed a permanent move to Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen FC, signing a two-year contract after leaving Major League Soccer outfit Houston Dynamo FC. The 28-year-old returns to Pittodrie following a successful loan spell during the second half of last season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Olusanya becomes Aberdeen’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window after impressing during his temporary stay at the club, where he scored two goals in 16 league appearances.

Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson expressed his delight at securing the striker’s services permanently, highlighting his pace, strength, work ethic and ability to offer a different dimension in attack.

According to Robinson, Olusanya’s familiarity with the club and understanding of the demands of representing Aberdeen made the deal an easy decision, while the club remains confident there is still more to come from the forward.

Speaking after completing the move, Olusanya admitted that returning to Aberdeen was a straightforward choice. He revealed that he felt welcomed from the moment he arrived in January and enjoyed both life at the club and in the city.

The striker also noted that a full pre-season will help him build on the progress he made during his loan spell, while his existing relationship with Robinson provides a strong platform to continue improving.

Olusanya further praised the club’s supporters and reiterated his determination to contribute to Aberdeen’s ambitions of competing for honours and challenging near the top of the league table.

He is expected to join his teammates later this week as preparations begin for the 2026/27 season.

Nigerian striker Stanley Iheanacho has completed a return to Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland from Portuguese club CD Mafra, signing a contract that will keep him at the club until December 31, 2030.

Iheanacho returns to the Danish outfit after spending two seasons in Portugal, where he continued his development with Mafra. The 21-year-old made 65 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals and establishing himself as an important member of the squad.

FC Midtjylland sporting director Kristian Bach Bak expressed his delight at bringing the forward back to the club.

“Stanley is still a young boy who came very far from home early on. He travelled from Nigeria to Denmark and then from Denmark to Portugal,” Bak told the club's official website.

“He has taken some steps towards senior football during the two years he has been in Mafra. At the beginning he was a small part of the team and had to fight for playing time, but last season he contributed with goals and assists, and played a big role. He has matured.

“Stanley is a fantastic person. He is wonderfully positive and happy, and as a player he has a really high top speed. He is very dynamic in his playing style, moves a lot and is aggressive under pressure. He works hard and then he has the wonderful quality of being able to score goals.”

Iheanacho also expressed excitement about returning to a club where he previously developed through the academy ranks.

“I see it as a good opportunity for me to move to FC Midtjylland. I really enjoyed my time here when I played in the academy. It was like my springboard and the start of my career,” he said.

“I managed to make my first-team debut, which I am incredibly happy about, but at the time the good decision for me was to move to Mafra. I got a lot of playing time and had a really good season most recently.

“Now I feel that the next step for me is to move back to FC Midtjylland and hopefully get playing time here and continue my development.

“I already know many of the team, as several of those I played with in the U19 team and in Mafra are now playing in the first team. I look forward to being part of the club again, hopefully winning titles and playing in the Europa League.”

The move marks another important step in Iheanacho’s career as he looks to establish himself in Danish top-flight football and continue his rise in European football.

Wilfred Ndidi is expected to leave Besiktas this summer after just one season in Turkey, with reports suggesting the Super Eagles midfielder no longer fits into the club’s long-term plans.

Ndidi joined Besiktas from Leicester City in an €8 million deal last summer, but his future has been under constant speculation since the January transfer window, when interest from a return to England briefly emerged.

The situation at the club has shifted significantly following a disappointing campaign and a managerial change, with Sergen Yalç?n replaced by Vincenzo Italiano. Reports indicate the new coach does not see Ndidi as part of his tactical setup, prompting the club to consider offers.

According to Ajanshaber, a move away is now increasingly likely, with the Saudi Pro League emerging as the most realistic destination for the 29-year-old midfielder.

Although Ndidi still has two years left on his contract, Besiktas are reportedly open to selling him for a fee above €10 million in order to make a profit on their initial investment.

The former Leicester City star, who was once linked with Manchester United, has not attracted serious confirmed interest from top European sides in recent months, further increasing the likelihood of a move outside Europe’s top leagues.

Despite the uncertainty, Ndidi contributed solid performances during his debut season in Turkey, but the club’s instability and tactical reset have accelerated discussions over his departure.

Saudi clubs are now monitoring the situation closely as they continue to target experienced international players ahead of the new season.

Akor Adams is attracting strong transfer interest from across Europe, with Olympique Marseille reportedly emerging as frontrunners for his signature ahead of the summer window.

According to Spanish publication OrgulloBiri, Sevilla FC have placed a €30 million valuation on the Super Eagles striker, who only joined the club from Montpellier in January 2025 for around €5.5 million.

The 26-year-old endured a slow start in Andalusia but finished the season strongly, ending as Sevilla’s top scorer in La Liga with 10 goals. Two of those came in the final four matches, playing a key role in helping the club avoid relegation.

Marseille are believed to be exploring Adams as a potential replacement in attack, with uncertainty surrounding the futures of key forwards such as Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His previous experience in French football is seen as a major advantage, making him a natural fit for Ligue 1.

Premier League side Fulham FC are also monitoring the situation. A move to Craven Cottage would see Adams link up with Nigerian teammates Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey, as Fulham continue their search for a new striker following squad changes.

Clubs from Saudi Arabia have also shown interest, but Adams is reportedly prioritising a move within Europe, which could narrow his options significantly.

Sevilla are open to selling if their valuation is met, as they look to ease financial pressure and reinvest in the squad. If a €30 million deal is completed, Adams would become one of the club’s biggest outgoing transfers in recent years.

Chibuike Nwaiwu could become one of the most expensive Nigerian defenders on the market this summer, with Trabzonspor reportedly demanding around €35 million to sanction his departure.

Nwaiwu only joined the Turkish side from Austrian club Wolfsberger AC during the January transfer window but has already made a strong impression at Papara Park.

The 22-year-old centre-back has scored three goals and provided one assist in 16 league appearances, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in the squad. He also played an important role in Trabzonspor’s Turkish Cup-winning campaign.

According to Turkish outlet Taka Gazete, the club are open to a sale if any interested party meets their valuation, despite viewing him as an important part of their long-term plans.

Trabzonspor are already preparing for a possible exit, with Gambian defender Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh of Tromsø IL identified as a potential replacement. The Turkish side are reportedly willing to offer around €7 million for the young defender as part of their succession planning.

Premier League club Fulham FC are said to be monitoring the situation, especially given their previous interest in strengthening defensive options. With Nigerian internationals Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey already at the club, a move to London could appeal to Nwaiwu if negotiations progress.

For now, however, Trabzonspor’s stance is clear: any departure will only happen if their €35 million valuation is met.

Victor Osimhen will not be sold this summer, according to Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek, who has firmly ruled out any possibility of the striker leaving the club regardless of the size of any offer.

The Nigerian forward has continued to attract major interest from top European sides, with reports claiming that Atlético Madrid recently tabled a €150 million bid to test Galatasaray’s resolve.

However, the Turkish champions remain unwavering in their stance.

Speaking to Turkish outlet Fotomaç, Özbek stated:

“We didn’t buy Osimhen to sell him. He’s a player who adds great value to Galatasaray and loves Galatasaray very much. We want him to serve Galatasaray for many years to come. Osimhen is also very happy at Galatasaray.”

Osimhen joined Galatasaray initially on loan during the 2024/25 season, where he enjoyed a highly productive campaign that helped the club secure both the league title and the Turkish Cup.

The 27-year-old registered 26 goals and four assists in 30 league appearances, establishing himself as one of the most influential players in the squad.

His move was later made permanent for €75 million following Galatasaray’s decision to secure his long-term future.

Despite continued speculation over interest from Europe’s elite clubs, the Istanbul side have now made their position clear: Osimhen is central to their long-term project and not available for transfer.

Nigerian youngster Olashile Musa Lawal has completed a move to Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland from Nigerian academy outfit FC Ebedei, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The highly-rated 18-year-old forward becomes the latest talent to make the transition from FC Ebedei to the Danish club, continuing a long-standing partnership that has produced several successful footballers over the years.

Lawal will initially join FC Midtjylland's U-19 team, where he is expected to continue his development before pushing for promotion to the senior squad.

Speaking after completing the move, the youngster expressed his delight at taking a major step in his football career.

“It means an incredible amount to me. Since I was little, I have dreamed of taking this very step,” Lawal told the club's official website.

“I have a lot of goals for myself, and I know this is a big step in the right direction for me. I want to help the team and show what I can do as part of the academy.”

The forward also highlighted his eagerness to learn and improve in his new environment.

“I am really looking forward to becoming part of the team, and I look forward to developing as a player and learning from the others,” he added.

Head of FCM Nigeria, Jonas Dal, praised the teenager's qualities and believes he has the attributes needed to succeed.

“Olashile is a player you really want to have as part of your team. He has many different qualities; he can play both as a number nine and as a tall striker. He is incredibly skilled on the ball and also has impressive technique,” Dal said.

“He has a good physique and wins many of his duels, while also being fast. Now he will be part of the academy, and we can work even more purposefully on developing him as a player.

“He is a very talented player, and we are incredibly happy that he has signed a contract with FC Midtjylland.”

Lawal's move represents another significant milestone for FC Ebedei's talent development programme and offers the young striker an opportunity to further his career in one of Europe's respected youth development systems.

Nigeria international Ademola Lookman has reportedly addressed growing speculation linking him with a move to Turkish champions Galatasaray, as rumours continue to suggest that fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is encouraging the transfer, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

According to Turkish outlet Aspor, Galatasaray have identified Lookman as a key target as they seek to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The Istanbul giants are eager to build on their recent domestic dominance and remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions, with Lookman viewed as a player capable of adding pace, creativity and goals to their attack.

Interest in the Nigerian winger comes amid uncertainty over his future at Atlético Madrid. Despite only recently joining the Spanish side, reports indicate that the club could be willing to listen to offers if a suitable bid is submitted.

Turkish reports also claim that Osimhen has personally contacted Lookman in an effort to persuade his international teammate to make the move to Istanbul. The prospect of two of Nigeria's biggest football stars playing together at club level has generated excitement among Galatasaray supporters.

However, Lookman is understood to be taking a cautious approach to the speculation. While reportedly open to considering the move, the 27-year-old has insisted that any discussions regarding personal terms can only take place after Galatasaray and Atlético Madrid reach an agreement.

His stance suggests that he is not dismissing the possibility of a transfer but remains focused on allowing both clubs to handle negotiations before making a final decision.

Galatasaray are believed to be assessing the financial demands of a potential deal, with Lookman reportedly valued at around €40 million. Atlético Madrid's position will be crucial, particularly given the investment made to bring the winger to the club.

With the summer transfer window still open, the situation remains one to monitor closely as speculation surrounding the futures of both Lookman and Osimhen continues to gather momentum.

Canada international Promise David Akinpelu has hailed Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface as one of the biggest influences on his football career, while also calling on Nigerian fans to support Canada at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 24-year-old striker, who previously represented Nigeria at U23 level before switching allegiance to Canada, made his FIFA World Cup debut in Canada's opening group-stage match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Promise came on in the 60th minute for Jonathan David and helped Canada secure a 1-1 draw after a late equaliser.

Speaking after the game, the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise forward described his World Cup debut as the fulfilment of a lifelong ambition.

“I think we trained our whole life to be at this stage, which is the biggest stage of football,” he said.

The striker also acknowledged the support he continues to receive from friends and fans in Nigeria, expressing delight at participating in a World Cup hosted in North America.

When asked about the Nigerian player who has influenced him the most, Promise singled out Boniface, whose career path closely mirrors his own.

The connection between the pair dates back to Boniface's departure from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise for Bayer Leverkusen in 2023, with Promise arriving as his successor at the Belgian club.

Since then, the forward has continued his development in Belgium and has now taken another significant step in his career by making his World Cup debut for Canada.

As Canada continues their campaign, Promise will be hoping to build on his encouraging first appearance while carrying the support of both Canadian fans and admirers from his country of birth.

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has expressed excitement over the arrival of Nigerian teenager Zadok Yohanna at Brighton & Hove Albion, saying she is looking forward to helping him settle into life at the Premier League side, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 18-year-old winger recently completed a move from Swedish club AIK Stockholm after Brighton beat off competition from several European clubs, including Newcastle United, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.

Nnadozie, who is currently in Nigeria after helping the Super Falcons to back-to-back friendly victories over Senegal, said she was delighted to see another Nigerian join the club and is ready to support him when she returns to England.

“When I first saw the news online, I was really happy for him,” she said, adding that it is always encouraging to have fellow Nigerians within the same team environment.

She also revealed that Brighton often organises bonding activities involving both the men’s and women’s teams, where players are paired based on nationality, making Yohanna’s arrival even more special for her.

Yohanna signed a five-year deal with Brighton, choosing the club ahead of several top European sides due to its reputation for developing young talent and providing a clear pathway into the first team.

Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler praised the youngster’s creativity and attacking potential, suggesting he could make a strong impact in the final third.

The move is seen as another example of Brighton’s growing reputation for nurturing emerging talents, while also strengthening the club’s Nigerian connection alongside Nnadozie.

Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have reportedly rejected a massive €120m offer from Atletico Madrid for Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Spanish side are said to be in the market for a new striker due to uncertainty surrounding the futures of Alexander Sørloth and Julian Alvarez.

Osimhen only completed a permanent move from Napoli to Galatasaray last summer, but his explosive form in Turkey has already made him one of the most sought-after forwards in world football.

The 27-year-old has attracted interest from several European giants, including Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Osimhen has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 22 goals and providing eight assists in 32 appearances, playing a key role in Galatasaray’s domestic dominance and their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Galatasaray’s decision to turn down such a huge offer is seen as a strong statement of intent, especially after investing heavily to secure the striker on a permanent deal last summer and handing him a lucrative long-term contract.

However, with the transfer window still open, questions remain over whether the Istanbul club will be able to resist further approaches if higher bids arrive in the coming months.

Scottish Premiership giants Rangers are interested in signing Nigerian defender Ryan Alebiosu as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Light Blues are in the market for a new right-back following the departure of James Tavernier at the end of last season.

Alebiosu enjoyed an impressive campaign with Blackburn Rovers after joining the Sky Bet Championship side from Belgian outfit Kortrijk last summer.

The 24-year-old contributed one goal and five assists in 41 Championship appearances for Blackburn, establishing himself as one of the club's standout performers.

According to reports, Blackburn are prepared to sanction the defender's departure this summer for a fee in the region of £3 million to £5 million.

The Nigerian international is also attracting interest from West Ham United and Genoa, with the Serie A side having previously seen an offer rejected during the January transfer window.

Despite competition for his signature, Rangers are reportedly making significant progress in their pursuit of Alebiosu and are expected to reach an agreement with the player on personal terms.

A move to Ibrox would see Alebiosu reunite with fellow Nigerian international Emmanuel Fernandez.

The versatile defender is no stranger to Scottish football, having previously featured in the Scottish Premiership with St Mirren before his move to Blackburn Rovers.

Rangers will now hope to finalise negotiations and secure the services of the highly-rated defender as they continue preparations for the upcoming campaign.

The English Women's Super League has applauded Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie following her impressive performances for Brighton & Hove Albion Women during the just-concluded campaign, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Nnadozie joined Brighton last summer from French side Paris FC and quickly established herself as one of the club's most influential players with a series of outstanding displays between the posts.

The Nigeria international enjoyed a remarkable debut season in England, making 62 saves and keeping six clean sheets as Brighton competed in the Women's Super League.

Her consistent performances and commanding presence in goal earned widespread admiration, with the Women's Super League recognising her contributions throughout the campaign.

Nnadozie's smooth transition to English football further reinforces her reputation as one of Africa's finest goalkeepers and a key figure for the Super Falcons.

The 25-year-old has continued to enhance her growing profile on the international stage, building on the form that previously saw her emerge as one of the standout goalkeepers in European women's football during her time with Paris FC.

Her performances for Brighton will also provide a major boost for the Super Falcons as they continue preparations for upcoming international competitions, with Nnadozie expected to remain a crucial part of the team's plans for years to come.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo has emerged as a transfer target for Leicester City FC following a reported impasse in contract negotiations with Wrexham AFC, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper has enjoyed an impressive spell at Wrexham, establishing himself as one of the club's most reliable performers and attracting interest from a number of clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Despite still having a year remaining on his current deal, reports indicate that talks over a contract extension have stalled, raising uncertainty over his long-term future at the club.

Leicester City are now said to be monitoring the situation closely and have identified Okonkwo as a key target as they seek to strengthen their goalkeeping department ahead of the new campaign.

A product of the Arsenal FC academy, Okonkwo has continued his development with a series of impressive performances, earning recognition both at club level and with the Nigerian national team.

The goalkeeper recently made his senior debut for the Super Eagles during the Unity Cup in London, helping Nigeria record a clean-sheet victory over Zimbabwe in the semi-final.

His growing reputation has strengthened his chances of becoming a regular fixture in head coach Éric Chelle's plans, particularly as competition intensifies for places in the national team.

A move to Leicester City would represent another significant step in Okonkwo's career, offering him the opportunity to compete at a higher level while continuing his push to establish himself as one of Nigeria's leading goalkeepers.

With negotiations at Wrexham reportedly at a standstill, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining where the talented goalkeeper will play his football next season.

Nigeria striker Gift Orban has emerged as a transfer target for newly promoted Serie A side Venezia FC ahead of the summer transfer window, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Orban spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Hellas Verona from Bundesliga outfit TSG Hoffenheim, where he enjoyed a productive campaign despite the club's struggles.

The 23-year-old registered seven goals and three assists in 28 Serie A appearances for Verona.

However, the Yellow and Blues opted not to activate the clause that would have made his stay permanent following their relegation after a 19th-place finish in the league.

According to Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Venezia are now considering a move for the Nigerian forward as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The Winged Lions secured an immediate return to the Italian top flight after winning the Serie B title, just one year after suffering relegation from Serie A.

Club officials are keen to reinforce the squad sufficiently to avoid another quick return to the second division, with Orban viewed as a player capable of adding pace, goals and attacking dynamism.

The former Olympique Lyonnais striker joined Hoffenheim in January 2025 and made an immediate impact in Germany, scoring four goals in 13 league appearances for the Bundesliga side.

Despite his encouraging performances in both Germany and Italy, Hoffenheim appear open to discussions should a suitable offer arrive, with reports suggesting the club could demand around €9 million for his services.

With the transfer window gathering momentum, more clubs are expected to monitor Orban's situation, but Venezia are currently among the sides showing the strongest interest in securing the Nigerian's signature.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has dismissed speculation surrounding the future of Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu, insisting the forward has no intention of leaving the Turkish club this summer, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Onuachu has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Trabzonspor since completing a permanent transfer from Southampton FC last summer following a successful loan spell.

Recent reports suggested that clubs from Saudi Arabia were interested in signing the prolific striker, with Trabzonspor reportedly rejecting a substantial offer for the Super Eagles star.

Addressing the speculation, Dogan confirmed that the club turned down a lucrative bid and stressed that the player remains fully committed to the Black Sea Storm.

“There is an offer for Paul Onuachu, but he loves the club and does not intend to leave,” Dogan told Fanatik.

“An offer of close to €20 million came for Paul Onuachu; we did not accept.”

The statement will come as a major boost for Trabzonspor supporters, who witnessed the Nigerian enjoy an outstanding 2025/26 campaign.

The 32-year-old played a key role in the club’s third-place finish in the Turkish Süper Lig and finished the season as the league’s joint-top scorer alongside Eldor Shomurodov of Istanbul Basaksehir.

Onuachu also helped Trabzonspor secure silverware, scoring twice in the 2-1 victory over Konyaspor in the Turkish Cup final.

Having established himself as one of the most influential forwards in Turkish football, the Nigerian's continued presence is expected to be central to Trabzonspor's ambitions both domestically and in European competition next season.
