According to Footy-Africa, Paul Onuachu is the priority of the Saudi club Al Ahli, which is preparing a new offer. Trabzonspor values Paul Onuachu at 30 million euros and is inflexible on this valuation. If Al Ahli submits an increased offer closer to Trabzonspor's expectations, official discussions will proceed quickly. The Nigerian international is attracted by the prospect of joining the Saudi league but does not intend to force a transfer. Personal contract terms will not be an obstacle if an agreement is reached between the clubs. Al Ahli is currently the only serious candidate for this transfer. Fenerbahçe had shown interest earlier in the summer but abandoned this option because it was financially too high, opting instead to finalize the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.

Footy-Africa reported that Paul Onuachu is expected to leave Trabzonspor this summer and that the Turkish club refused a 20 million euro offer from Al Ahli SC. The same source stated that the striker is not requesting to leave but would be prepared to depart if an offer is made that matches the club's expectations. It is also reported that Al Ahli, a Saudi club, is expected to return with an improved offer for Paul Onuachu.

Al Ahli is preparing to sign 31-year-old Nigerian international Paul Onuachu as a potential replacement for Ivan Toney, who is likely to depart. It is reported that the Saudi club would offer the striker an annual salary of 8 million euros, which is four times his current earnings in Turkey. The transfer fee is estimated to be around 10 million euros. Onuachu joined Trabzonspor in July 2025, and his contract with the club expires in the summer of 2028. His value on Transfermarkt is listed at 6 million euros. The striker has scored 18 goals and provided 2 assists in 21 Süper Lig appearances this season, and has 31 caps and 4 goals for Nigeria.
