Trabzonspor President, Ertugrul Dogan is hopeful the club can find a solution with Southampton for Paul Onuachu.
Onuachu spent last season on loan at the Turkish Super Lig champions, scoring 17 goals across all competitions.
The Black Sea Storm are desperate to sign the Nigeria international on a permanent contract but are finding it difficult to meet Southampton’s valuation.
Dogan revealed Trabzonspor have offered €8m for the player but Southampton are demanding €15m for the striker.
He said the club can’t pay the fee for a player of Onuachu’s age.
“Onuachu was a player who played for us on loan last season. His club insistently demands around 15 million euros. We offered 8 million euros with bonuses,” he told NTVSpor.
“Trabzonspor cannot give 15 million euros to a football player right now. A player is 20-22 years old, it is our coach’s request, then it will be considered.
“However, Trabzonspor cannot make such an offer to a 30-year-old player. The last 2-3 days. The situation is clear. We will wait and see.”
