Monday’s edition of Sabah reports Aston Villa’s Trezeguet is getting closer to signing for Trabzonspor.
The Turkish club have been one of several keen on the 27-year-old, who has a contract with the Premier League club until June 2023. He spent last season on loan at İstanbul Başakşehir, and is not expected to return to the country on a longer term basis.
Sabah report Aston Villa and Trabzonspor have reached an ‘agreement in principle’ for the player’s transfer. That will see the Premier League club receive a transfer fee of around €3.5m, likely less than Villa will have originally asked for.
Given Trezeguet’s contract has less than a year left, and there’s no role for him with Steven Gerrard, it may have been considered the amount was better than nothing.
Sabah suggest Trezeguet will be offered around €2.2m a year in Turkey, including bonuses, and there’s a ‘high probability’ of a deal being done.
