FC Midtjylland and Trabzonspor player transfers

Overview

The Turkish club Trabzonspor completed a record-breaking transfer of 22-year-old Guinea-Bissau striker Franculino Dju from Danish side FC Midtjylland for 17 million euros. The deal, finalized just one hour before the UEFA registration deadline, includes eight equal installments over five years and a 15% sell-on clause for Midtjylland.

This sale contributed to FC Midtjylland setting a new Superliga record for player sales during the summer transfer window. The club generated at least 643 million Danish kroner (DKK), with potential totals reaching 725 million DKK including bonuses. Dju was one of several key players sold for fees exceeding 100 million DKK, alongside Dario Osorio and Aral Şimşir.

Dju has signed a 4+1 year contract with Trabzonspor. Midtjylland coach Kristian Kjaer confirmed that Bayern Munich had previously shown interest in the international forward, with initial contacts occurring as early as last summer. Danish journalist Nicklas Degn described Dju as a “wonderful finisher” and a versatile player capable of playing as both a winger and a center-forward, noting that while a serious injury previously hindered his progress, his high potential remains evident.

Dju is expected to be available for Trabzonspor’s upcoming Süper Lig match against Gençlerbirliği, though he is likely to begin on the bench.
