Trabzonspor had initially set their sights on Bruno Onyemaechi to fill the left-back position, contingent upon the sale of Eren Elmalı. The club reportedly made significant progress in negotiations with both the player and Boavista. However, the process encountered complications due to issues in Eren’s transfer to Galatasaray. The parties had reached an agreement on a 3.5 million Euro fee, but the details of the payment plan were yet to be finalized. Meanwhile, Olympiakos from Greece was also showing serious interest in Onyemaechi, with Boavista and Olympiakos reportedly close to finalizing a deal at a 2.5 million Euro fee.
