Paul Onuachu: Trabzonspor slap price tag on Super Eagles striker amid links to Saudi Arabian clubs

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has been heavily linked with a transfer away from Trabzonspor in recent months, Afrik-Foot reports.

This is his second stint with the Black Sea Storm after spending a year at the club two seasons ago.

During his first stint, he was brilliant, contributing 15 goals and four assists in 21 Süper Lig games. This year, he has taken it a notch higher with an impressive return of 22 goals and two assists in 28 games.

Onuachu has proven that he doesn’t only have the height to dominate in aerial situations; he also possesses the technique to make even the smallest of opportunities deadly.

Onuachu’s performances have caught the eye of several clubs both in and outside of mainstream Europe.

Notably, Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli has been touted as a possible destination, as they are rumored to want to part ways with star striker Ivan Toney in the summer.

Amid the rumors, Trabzonspor have been adamant about not letting Onuachu leave, especially since he still has two years left on his contract. However, they might eventually budge.

As speculation about Paul Onuachu’s future continues to linger, there is a possibility that the 31-year-old striker might eventually depart.

In fact, reports linking him to Saudi Arabia indicate that suitors are willing to offer him quadruple what he currently earns.

For most players of his age, financial security is paramount as they draw closer to the twilight of their careers. As such, he will likely be open to a move.

In the meantime, Trabzonspor have set a price tag for the Super Eagles striker. According to Dik Futbol, the club has informed potential suitors that they will only entertain offers in the region of €15 million.

This is a significantly higher amount than the €5.7 million they paid for his services last year and more than his €6 million valuation on Transfermarkt. As such, his suitors will likely demand to pay a lower fee.
