Noah Markmann of Nordsjaelland is a primary candidate for Trabzonspor, which has been scouting the 19-year-old defender for a long time as a potential replacement for Nwaiwu. Nwaiwu's sale to Fulham is considered highly probable, as negotiations are progressing in a serious manner. Trabzonspor's pursuit of a new center-back is expected to intensify after Nwaiwu's transfer is finalized, which could happen this week. The Danish player is not the only option, as the club is considering several candidates, including Junior Diaz from Troyes. There is also other interest in Markmann, as Lazio has recently shown serious interest, with a transfer fee of around 7 million Euro being discussed. The Denmark U21 international has 2 caps, joined Nordsjaelland in July 2024, and has a contract until 2027. His market value is €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. In July 2026, one report mentioned Lazio was attracted by a €5 million price, while another suggested negotiations were advanced for a deal potentially worth around €7 million including bonuses.
