Turkish Cup winners, Trabzonspor have once again shown their determination to keep Super Eagles defender Chibuike Nwaiwu amid growing interest in his services.
The Black Sea Storm have remained firm on their valuation of €30-35 million for the Nigerian defender, who only joined the club earlier this year but has already attracted interest from several clubs following his impressive performances.
Nwaiwu enjoyed an impressive half-season with Trabzonspor after joining from Wolfsberger in January. The Super Eagles defender quickly established himself as a mainstay in the heart of the club’s defence and played an important role in their successful campaign.
The 23-year-old also ended the season with a trophy after Trabzonspor defeated Konyaspor 2-1 in the Turkish Cup final to lift the competition.
His performances placed him on the radar of several clubs, with Fulham emerging as one of the strongest contenders to land his signature. The Premier League club have already had multiple offers rejected by Trabzonspor as they continue to push for his signature.
There has also been interest from the Italian Serie A, while UEFA Conference League winners Crystal Palace have also entered the race as well.
