Trabzonspor prepares official offer for Shomurodov
Trabzonspor wants to add a new scoring weapon to a squad that finished 3rd with 64 points in 2025; the club has placed 31‑year‑old Uzbek striker Eldor Shomurodov on its transfer list. Shomurodov shared the league top‑scorer title with Paul Onuachu last season and recorded 23 goals and 6 assists in 44 official matches.
Why Shomurodov? Performance and tactical fit
Shomurodov's 23 goals in 2025 could directly boost Trabzonspor's attacking line that scored 56 goals. The team conceded 31 goals, giving a +25 goal difference; adding a new scorer can preserve this balance while increasing wins. Moreover, his two‑footed style meshes well with existing wingers, providing tactical variety.
How is the transfer progressing?
According to sources, the board is drafting a formal offer for Shomurodov, whose contract runs until 2028. The offer will be made if conditions are met and rival clubs' reactions will be monitored. No exact fee has been disclosed, but given the club's spending plan for the season, a mid‑range investment is expected.
Future plan and next fixture
Trabzonspor continues squad reinforcement before the new season, with the next league match scheduled for 2026‑12‑20 at home against Kocaelispor. Kocaelispor sits 10th in the table, and this game could prevent a points loss, keeping Trabzonspor only 4 points behind leaders Galatasaray. Should Shomurodov join, he is expected to feature in this match.
Current status and expectations
Current stats: 2025 season finished 3rd, 64 points, 19 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses and a recent form of DWWWW. These numbers clearly show the club's need to strengthen its attack with a new goal scorer. Shomurodov's arrival could help Trabzonspor maintain its league position and push closer to the championship race.
