Southampton To Monitor Onuachu In Pre-season, To Sell On Their Terms

Southampton remains keen to not letting Super Eagles ace Paul Onuachu go on a cheap to Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

With a host of new players arriving at St Mary’s, Onuachu could soon be amongst them as Trabzonspor have been pursuing a deal for the 30-year-old for quite some time now.

Saints have indicated they will look at Onuachu in pre-season and will only sell on their terms.

Trabzonspor have wanted the deal done this week, but Saints’ supremo Rasmus Ankersen has warned they must pay the right price.

With that aim in mind, Trabzonspor have tabled a fresh offer for Onuachu, going up to €7m and including bonuses, according to Turkish outlet Play Spor.

As Southampton’s reduced asking price was around €10m it remains to be seen whether they accept the fresh offer from Trabzonspor.

Onuachu proved to be a goal threat for the Turkish side last season when he was there on loan, making 21 goal contributions in 26 matches.

The Nigerian has a contract with Southampton running until the summer of 2026, but he has made it clear he wants to go back to Trabzonspor.
