Darlin Yongwa is not expected to join Trabzonspor as negotiations between the various parties have stalled. Trabzonspor, who had started negotiations with his club, has ended their pursuit after inconclusive talks.

Ouest-France reported that Trabzonspor has made an official offer of one million euros for Darlin Yongwa, which excludes bonuses. The defender is also attracted by the Turkish club's project, and the decision regarding his departure will now be made by the FC Lorient board.

According to Fanatik, Trabzonspor's scout team leader Eren Mert and Fatih Tekke have agreed on Darlin Yongwa as a key candidate for the club's left-back transfer. Yongwa's contract ends at the end of the season, which makes him appear to be the most affordable candidate. The player represented the Cameroon National Team at the Africa Cup of Nations and is preparing to return to France after his team lost to Morocco in the quarterfinals.

Trabzonspor is focusing on signing a left-back and has identified Lorient's Darlin Yongwa, a Cameroonian international, as one of four to five candidates for the position. The club does not intend to allocate a large budget for a left-back, and the 25-year-old player's contract expiring at the end of the season makes him a financially suitable option. Yongwa, who is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations, is known for his defensive abilities and can also play as a center-back. The process regarding his potential transfer will proceed more quickly based on manager Fatih Tekke's final decision, as the club aims to complete a deal for the position before their match on January 18th. The defender has earned 8 caps and scored one goal for his country. In the current Ligue 1 season, Yongwa has made 14 appearances without scoring or providing an assist. He joined Lorient in July 2022 and has a current Transfermarkt valuation of €4.00m. Other clubs linked with Yongwa include Genoa, Sporting Charleroi, and Gaziantep F.K.
