Trabzonspor made proposals for Armand Laurienté in the summer, but the proposals did not satisfy Sassuolo, which valued the player at at least 25 million euros. Laurienté is under contract until 2029. According to sporting director Francesco Palmieri, Sassuolo does not want to sell in January.

Armand Laurienté from Sassuolo remains a priority target for Trabzonspor for the left-wing position. During the winter transfer window, an agreement with the Italian club was not reached, and the 27-year-old French player was also undecided about the transfer. Trabzonspor continues its pursuit and is expected to make initial contact with the player's manager in the upcoming weeks. Trabzonspor believes that qualifying for the Champions League will substantially strengthen its position in convincing Laurienté. This season, he has scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in 30 Serie A matches. Laurienté's contract with Sassuolo has one year remaining.
