Trabzonspor 'to sign' Darwin Nunez once Al-Hilal payment issue is resolved | OneFootball

Trabzonspor are closing on a deal for Al-Hilal forward Nunez, with personal terms agreed and one final hurdle delaying completion, according to 61saat.

Nunez earns around 20 million euros a year at the Saudi club. He is still due 12 million euros from Al-Hilal and is working to settle it, with taxation on the amount complicating matters.

Progress has been positive and some Trabzonspor officials believe the move could be finalised at any moment. The remaining financial issue will determine the timing of any announcement.

Midfield also remains a focus. Talks were opened for a young English player, whose name was not disclosed, but his club rejected the offer.

Stuttgart's Atakan Karazor was another target. Those discussions failed to yield an agreement, though the sides could meet again soon.

Trabzonspor are seeking a young, tall holding midfielder, a pursuit that could require a current foreign player to depart to free a slot.
