Fulham makes new €28m bid for Nwaiwu

Fulham, a team in the Premier League, is stepping up their chase for Super Eagles defender Chibuike Nwaiwu. They have made a new offer of €28m for the Trabzonspor centre-back.

This new offer includes a guaranteed €25m payment, plus an extra €3m based on performance bonuses. This is a big jump from Fulham's first offer of €20m, which Trabzonspor rejected.

Even with the improved bid, Trabzonspor is standing firm on the value of the Nigerian player. They are looking for a fee between €30m and €35m and will not sell for less than that.

Fulham’s latest move shows their commitment to boosting their defense before the new season starts. Nwaiwu has become one of their top targets during this transfer window.

Nwaiwu has gained a strong reputation with solid performances at his club. His calmness on the ball, physical strength, tactical awareness, and ability to play in various defensive roles have drawn a lot of praise. This has helped him secure a good spot in the Super Eagles team.

Talks between Fulham and Trabzonspor are expected to keep going in the next few days. Fulham hopes to close the gap between their latest offer and Trabzonspor’s asking price. If this transfer happens, it will be one of the biggest moves for a Nigerian defender in a long time.
