According to Voetbalnieuws.be, Adedire Medube's transfer to Rizespor is completed. Adedire Medube has passed his medical tests at Rizespor and signed for 4.5 seasons. Westerlo and Medube had reached an agreement, after which the player traveled to Istanbul for the medical checks.

According to Fanatik, Trendyol Süper Lig team Çaykur Rizespor has signed Adedire Awokoya Mebude. The Scottish footballer, who is of Nigerian origin, has signed a 4.5-year contract.

Rizespor has submitted an offer to KVC Westerlo for winger Adedire Mebude, who also holds Nigerian citizenship. Reşat Can Özbudak reported on January 11, 2026, that the bid was official. Mebude could depart Westerlo this month, and the club will likely cooperate with a transfer as the Scottish player is not a regular starter and the team could use the money. This season, the 21-year-old has made thirteen appearances, totaling 349 minutes and scoring twice. Westerlo acquired Mebude from Manchester City's reserves 2.5 years ago for €1.75 million, but he did not meet the high expectations and was previously loaned out to Bristol City and Hamburger SV. His contract runs until mid-2027. A youth international for Scotland, Mebude has 18 caps and 4 goals for the U21 team. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €700k, and clubs such as Midtjylland and Rijeka have previously been linked with the player.
