It is reported that Trabzonspor is considering Brentford's Turkish defensive midfielder Yunus Emre Konak as part of its long-term planning to strengthen its midfield rotation. The technical staff is said to have taken an interest in the 20-year-old due to his age and development potential. According to reports, the main obstacle in the transfer talks is the fee, with the English club demanding approximately 10 million Euro, while Trabzonspor continues contacts to lower this amount. One reason for Brentford's negotiating position is a 12.5% sell-on clause owed to Sivasspor.
After moving to England, Konak spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Oxford United. The Trabzonspor management is expected to determine its plan for the transfer following the conclusion of discussions with Brentford. Konak, who has 16 caps for the Türkiye U21 team, joined Brentford in January 2024 and has a contract until June 2029. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.50m. During the 2025/2026 season, he made 10 appearances in the Premier League, 16 in the Championship, and 17 in the Süper Lig. Wrexham has also reportedly been associated with the player.
