Trabzonspor's transfer plans have hit a roadblock as Samuel Chukwueze rejects a move to the Turkish Super Lig club.
What happened?
Chukwueze spent last season on loan with Premier League club Fulham, scoring three goals and registering four assists in 25 appearances.
Why it matters for Trabzonspor
The Nigeria international has returned to his parent club, AC Milan, after Fulham opted not to exercise the option in the contract, and Trabzonspor were hoping to bring him to Turkey for around €15 million this summer.
What comes next?
Trabzonspor, currently 3rd in Süper Lig with 69 points from 34 games, recent form LWDLD, and on a 2-game winning run, will have to look elsewhere to strengthen their squad, as they trail leaders Galatasaray by 8 points, and their last result was a 2-1 win over Konyaspor on 2026-05-22. Chukwueze's decision to stay at AC Milan under new manager Ruben Amorim is a significant blow to Trabzonspor's transfer plans, and they will have to act quickly to find alternative signings, with the summer transfer window in full swing, and the team looking to improve their goal difference of +22, having scored 61 goals and conceded 39 this season.
