English club Southampton are yet to finalise talks with Turkish side Trabzonspor over the potential sale of Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu.
Fresh reports confirm that the relegated Premier League club has not agreed to the latest transfer offer from the Super Lig giants.
Earlier claims from Turkish media suggested that Trabzonspor had reached an agreement with Southampton to sign Onuachu for €4.5m plus €500,000 in add-ons.
However, those reports have now been debunked, as reliable sources insist negotiations are still ongoing and far from complete.
According to Daily Echo journalist Alfie House, Southampton are not prepared to sell the 31-year-old at that valuation and believes the reported €5m package is below their asking price.
Talks are continuing between both clubs, but the Saints are holding firm, and it is hoped that discussions could rumble on for a while, as cited by Saints Extra.
Onuachu spent the 2023/24 on loan at Trabzonspor, where he impressed with 15 goals and four assists in 21 league appearances before returning to St. Mary’s last season.
The towering forward earlier expressed his willingness to remain in Turkey, but Southampton were in no rush to finalise a deal they considered undervalued last summer.
He finished last season with four Premier League goals as the Saint’s top scorer in the league.
The Nigerian joined Southampton from Genk in January 2023 but struggled to adapt in England before being loaned out.
