Istanbul Başakşehir has initiated direct contact with AS Roma to propose a €7 million offer for the acquisition of Eldor Shomurodov. Turkish sources indicate that the transfer has a high likelihood of being finalized. Shomurodov, who was signed by AS Roma in 2021 for €18.5 million, has struggled to meet expectations in Italy. Despite some improvements under the guidance of Claudio Ranieri, he managed to score 7 goals and provide 5 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions. The Uzbek international, who has earned 82 caps and scored 42 goals for his national team, has garnered interest from other clubs such as Stade Rennais. However, Stade Rennais has not advanced beyond showing interest, allowing Istanbul Başakşehir a clear opportunity to negotiate the transfer.
