Trabzonspor’s summer transfer window is turning into one of the most ambitious in Europe, and the club’s next target is Karim Benzema. After securing the sensational signing of Mohamed Salah, reports from Goal and several Turkish outlets claim the Al‑Hilal forward has been offered to Trabzonspor, who have already made contact with the 2021‑22 Ballon d’Or winner’s representatives.
At 38, Benzema is considering a change of scenery, and the Turkish side present an attractive option both financially and competitively. Trabzonspor hope to pair him with Salah to assemble a luxury squad capable of challenging for the Süper Lig title and making a deep Europa League run. The potential arrival of Benzema would complement a group already featuring Onana, Savic, Malinovskyi and Cape Verde star Sidny Lopes, scorer of one of the standout goals at the last World Cup. For Trabzonspor, adding the French striker would be the ultimate statement in a historic summer.
