  "account": "Trabzonspor has informed Al Ahli that they require €30 million to sign Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The 32-year-old Onuachu, who joined Trabzonspor last season after a previous stint on loan from Southampton, remains uncertain about his future at the Turkish club. Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are among the strongest suitors for the forward and are expected to meet with Trabzonspor this week to discuss a potential transfer. Onuachu has expressed willingness to leave Trabzonspor, but any transfer will depend on whether the club agrees to their demands. The Nigerian previously enjoyed success at Trabzonspor, scoring 26 goals across all competitions in his second season, including 22 in the league, and helping the team win the Turkish Cup. Trabzonspor had previously rejected two offers for Onuachu but have since softened their stance as they pursue a move for former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez. Other clubs, including Turkish rivals Fenerbahce and Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, have also shown interest in the striker.",
