Christ Inao Oulaï, a 20-year-old midfielder for Trabzonspor, has attracted interest from major European clubs following his notable performances for the Ivory Coast at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which included a match against Germany. It has been claimed that French club PSG, Spanish side Barcelona, and English team Chelsea are among the clubs following the player. It is also said that Leipzig is monitoring him closely. Trabzonspor's management is reportedly aware of the significant interest and is not making a hurried decision about his future.
The club has the intention of asking for a minimum of 50 million Euro for Oulaï. A transfer at that price would constitute a record sale for the Süper Lig. Oulaï has 11 caps for his country. He joined the Turkish club from Bastia in August 2025, and the fee was reportedly €5.5 million. His contract is valid until June 2030. During the 2025/2026 Süper Lig season, he made 25 appearances, scored 2 goals, and provided 4 assists. It was reported that in January 2026, Trabzonspor rejected a €40 million offer from Chelsea. The player's current valuation on Transfermarkt is €23.00m.
