Midfielder, wing-forward and centre-back… Trabzonspor’s coach Şenol Güneş first wants transfers to these 3 regions during the half-time. The experienced coach said to go for clear names that will show their difference as soon as they arrive and raise the current level of the team. The number 1 target of the claret-blue team, which has many names on its list for the midfield, is Corentin Tolisso from Lyon. The French club is expected to part ways with many stars due to its financial crisis. The burgundy-blue management took action for the player who can also play in the front libero.
A COMPLETE LEADER IN THE MIDFIELD
The Black Sea giant knocked on the door of the French team for Tolisso, who is a complete leader in the center of the midfield. Tolisso’s annual salary in Lyon is around 4 million euros. Therefore, it is an expensive operation. Trabzonspor management made a loan offer for the French football player of Togolese origin. There are also suitors from England for the 1.81 tall star, who Lyon definitely wants to dispose of. The contract of the 30-year-old midfielder, who played 22 matches in the league and Europe this season and scored 2 goals and 4 assists, expires in 2027. Market value is 7 million euros.
The Black Sea giant also prepared plan B in case it does not get the result it wants from the Tolisso transfer: Philip Billing. The Danish midfielder of Nigerian origin, who plays for the Premier League team Bournemouth but can play a total of 176 minutes in only 10 matches this season, wants to go to a team where he can get more playing time. For this reason, it was stated that Trabzonspor continued their contacts for the 1.93-tall star, who can play as number 10 and front libero as well as central midfield. The market value of the 28-year-old football player is 14 million euros and his contract with Bournemouth will expire in 2027. It was learned that both players were approved by the technical team, but the Tolisso transfer was one step ahead.
