Following the departure of Felipe Augusto to Zenit, Trabzonspor is looking to make an investment in the future by considering 18-year-old Rene Mitongo. The club’s technical staff believes that Mitongo needs experience in a regular playing environment and is evaluating a loan deal for him. However, Trabzonspor has also turned its attention towards another potential target: Eldor Shomurodov of Başakşehir FK.

Shomurodov, an experienced forward who has played in the Süper Lig and is known for his physicality, is being considered as a priority candidate. The club’s management plans to finalize the conditions with Başakşehir FK soon and expedite their negotiations. Trabzonspor aims to use this move to strengthen its forward rotation both in terms of quality and depth before the new season.

The transfer list includes several alternatives, but Shomurodov stands out due to his experience and playing style. The management hopes that by securing a deal with Shomurodov, they can provide the necessary experience and adaptability needed for Mitongo’s development. This move is seen as crucial in Trabzonspor's strategy to enhance its squad depth and prepare for the upcoming season.
