Fulham
Fulham have again made a move for Trabzonspor star Christ Oulai, increasing their offer for the defensive midfielder. This comes after Chelsea interest in January.
Hurriyet report that Fulham have come back to the Turkish side with an improved offer for the 20-year-old. But Trabzonspor are not backing down from their asking price.
Fulham offer €27m
The newspaper explains that Christ Oulai is one of the most talked about players at Trabzonspor at this moment in time. His value has been rapidly increasing in Türkiye, and the Premier League is interested.
Fulham are at the front of the queue and have ‘once again approached’ Trabzonspor regarding a deal. According to their information, Fulham are now offering over €27m including bonuses for the midfielder. Trabzonspor, though, are insisting on a €30m fee.
Negotiations between the various parties are continuing. Crucially, though, Fulham have obtained the necessary permission from Trabzonspor to hold talks with the 20-year-old.
Oulai, for his part, is happy at the Turkish club but is open to the prospect of playing in the Premier League. Fulham, though, will need to come close to the €30m Trabzonspor want for a deal to happen. They are also looking for a share of any future transfer fee and bonus clauses to be included.
€30m may not be enough
But even a €30m offer seems low given what Sport Witness have already reported on when it comes to Christ Oulai.
For example, back in the January transfer window, we covered a report explaining how Chelsea had made an offer worth 200% more than their rivals at the time. That was worth €40m.
Trabzonspor president Ertuğrul Doğan confirmed offers of that value at the time.
“We received an offer from Galatasaray. It’s an important club. It’s not appropriate to name the club. I don’t want to discuss this matter. I don’t want to get into these details. Trabzonspor’s expectation is €40m and above,” he said.
“They say there’s an agreement with Oulai, how is that possible? There’s no such thing. Our player has offers from Europe and Türkiye. This isn’t a bad thing, it’s a success. They’re talking about 35-40 million for a player we bought for €5m. We have a figure in mind; the reason we buy these players is to resell them.”
