Fanatik report Trabzonspor have rejected a bid from Brighton & Hove Albion for Ugurcan Cakir.
The Turkish goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the past few months, and yesterday it emerged Brighton are the latest club to take an interest
It’s reported Brighton have made their first move for Cakir but Trabzonspor have rejected their opening bid for the 24 year old. It’s claimed they offered €15m.
However, Fanatik insist Brighton aren’t ready to accept defeat and they plan to travel to Turkey next week to raise their offer for the youngster.
The Turkish newspaper adds Cakir’s departure from Trabzonspor now seems likely, and that former Altinordu goalkeeper Erce Kardesler, who was his understudy last season, is set to become the No.1 for the Karadeniz Firtinasi.
Cakir made 43 appearances for Trabzonspor last season and kept five clean sheets. His contract with the Super Lig club runs until June 2024.
