Trabzonspor has initiated efforts to strengthen its squad through several transfer moves. The club initially made an official offer to Borussia Dortmund to sign Portuguese forward Fabio Silva on loan, with an option to buy. Silva is viewed as a mobile, technical alternative to the physical playing style of Paul Onuachu.

Negotiations regarding Silva have since evolved. While the club originally sought a loan, Borussia Dortmund has expressed interest in a deal that includes a mandatory purchase option valued at approximately 12 million Euros. The player is currently evaluating his options.

Additionally, Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has arrived in Trabzon after reaching an agreement with the club to bolster the team's defensive and ball-progression capabilities.
