Southampton striker Paul Onuachu‘s potential transfer to Trabzonspor has encountered a major hurdle due to disagreements over his valuation.
According to Southampton insider Adam Blackmore, the Turkish club’s current offer falls short of Southampton’s €10 million asking price.
Onuachu, who had a successful loan spell with Trabzonspor last season, scoring 15 goals and providing 4 assists, is highly sought after by the Turkish side. Despite their interest, Trabzonspor’s offer of €7 million has not met Southampton’s expectations, causing a deadlock in negotiations.

Adam Blackmore emphasized that Southampton, newly promoted to the Premier League, is not willing to sell the Nigerian forward for less than their valuation. He highlighted Onuachu’s impressive goal-scoring record and contributions to the team’s success, underscoring the club’s stance on his worth.
There’s a lot to happen this month at #SaintsFc & the likes of Alcaraz, ABK & Onuachu getting moves will help
I’m told Tall Paul won’t be going to @Trabzonspor (as some have said) unless they stop offering Saints peanuts for him… his goal scoring record deserves more for sure

While Onuachu is eager to return to Trabzonspor, he is currently training with Southampton as he prepares for the upcoming Premier League season. The Saints are set to kick off their campaign against Newcastle at St. James’ Park on August 17.
