Paul Onuachu to leave Trabzonspor? Super Lig giants plot transfer for new striker

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has been heavily linked with a move away from Trabzonspor, and a summer departure appears increasingly likely, Afrik-Foot reports.

Onuachu is coming off a stellar campaign in the Turkish Super Lig. He was instrumental for the Black Sea Storm, contributing 26 goals and two assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.

His finishing was a major reason for the club’s third‑place finish and their journey to a tenth Turkish Cup title— their first in six years.

Following his impressive form, speculation regarding a transfer to clubs abroad has intensified.

The Saudi Arabian Pro League has emerged as a frontrunner, with reports suggesting they are prepared to offer the Super Eagles star a salary four times his current earnings.

While there have been no confirmed reports of official contact with Trabzonspor, Onuachu may be tempted to consider these offers, especially as he enters the final stages of his career.

Trabzonspor Identify Potential Replacement Amid Paul Onuachu Exit Links

Amid the ongoing speculation, reports indicate that the Turkish side would be willing to entertain offers if a big transfer fee is proposed. Consequently, the club has begun scouting potential replacements for the 32‑year‑old.

According to Dik Futbol, Trabzonspor are eyeing Elche’s Álvarez Rodríguez. The Uruguayan striker is coming off a productive season in La Liga, where he recorded seven goals and five assists in 34 appearances. Rodríguez is known for his pace, grit, and impressive work ethic.

Should Onuachu depart, the Black Sea Storm are expected to launch a formal bid for the Uruguayan.

While it remains unconfirmed whether Onuachu will eventually leave Turkey, filling his boots will undoubtedly be a daunting task for whoever takes his place.
