Trabzonspor reject €30m bid for Nwaiwu

Trabzonspor have rejected a €30 million bid for defender Chibuike Nwaiwu from Crystal Palace, according to Haber61. The Turkish Cup winners are holding on to the 23-year-old amid interest from various European clubs. Trabzonspor values Nwaiwu at €35 million, and he is committed to the club until June 30, 2030. The defender has impressed with three headed goals in 16 league appearances during the second half of last season.

Crystal Palace's need for defense reinforcements has intensified after losing Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea and Marc Guehi to Manchester City. However, Trabzonspor is committed to retaining Nwaiwu as they aim for a Super Lig title challenge next season. Fulham, a London rival of Crystal Palace, has already agreed personal terms with Nwaiwu, while French clubs and Italian Serie A sides are also showing interest in the defender.
