Trabzonspor Faces Decision on Batista Mendy Amid Transfer Draft

French midfielder Batista Mendy impressed Trabzonspor coach Fatih Tekke during the pre‑season camp in Austria, putting the club in a dilemma over his future. The player is slated to join the Austrian‑camp squad, and his continued stay would occupy one of the limited foreign‑player slots, restricting Trabzonspor's ability to sign additional foreign strikers or right‑wingers.

The club’s plans for Denis Draguş and John Lundstram remain unchanged, with both players notified that they are not in the upcoming season’s roster and are to seek new clubs. Decisions regarding Mendy’s contract are expected in the coming days, and they will directly shape the team’s transfer strategy and squad composition for the new season.
