Trabzonspor targets multiple defensive signings, including Valencia centre‑back Cenk Özkaçar

Turkish club Trabzonspor is actively scouting several defenders ahead of the new season. The club’s management has identified Valencia’s 25‑year‑old centre‑back Cenk Özkaçar as a priority, with the Spanish side reportedly asking around €4 million for the player and indicating willingness to sell if the offer covers the remaining amortisation.

In addition, Trabzonspor has placed Venezuelan defender Christian Makoun, currently under contract with Bulgaria’s Levski Sofia until 2027, on its transfer list. The club is evaluating his ability to play as a left‑centre‑back or left‑back and his physical profile.

The club is also monitoring local forward Ali Habeşoğlu of Bodrumspor, though financial considerations have delayed any immediate move. Overall, Trabzonspor aims to reinforce the defensive line while maintaining flexibility under the foreign‑player quota and its broader squad planning.
