According to Fanatik, Trabzonspor is pursuing Konyaspor's 32-year-old Turkish forward, Umut Nayir, as part of a plan to strengthen their domestic player options; the publication states this move is based on a report from manager Fatih Tekke. The club aims to sign Nayir to avoid a lack of options in their forward rotation, as Danylo Sikan is expected to leave on loan and Felipe Augusto has received serious offers from the Arabian Peninsula. Nayir scored 8 goals in the first half of the season. It is reported that intensive contacts are underway between the clubs. A swap deal involving Arif Boşluk is being considered because Konyaspor is interested in signing him. However, it has also been learned that Trabzonspor may instead pay Konyaspor a transfer fee. Nayir joined Konyaspor in July 2024 and has a contract with the club until June 2026. The forward has made 5 appearances for Türkiye, scoring one goal. He has scored eight goals and provided two assists in 17 Süper Lig appearances this season. Transfermarkt estimates Nayir's current market value to be €700k.
