Trabzonspor have turned down an €11m bid for Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu, Completesports.com reports.
According to Turkish news outlet takagazete, the bid was submitted by a Saudi Arabian club.
Onuachu, who finished as joint-top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig last season, has attracted interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia.
The Trabzonspor hierarchy could be tempted to cash in on the striker should a substantial offer arrive.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli reportedly saw a bid for the former FC Midtjylland forward turned down during the January transfer window.

Trabzonspor Want More Money For Onuachu
Trabzonspor president Ertuğrul Doğan recently revealed that the club have received offers for seven players, but added that only one or two are likely to be sold.
Ivory Coast international Christ Inao Oulaï, Felipe Augusto are reportedly among the players being considered for departure.
Head coach Fatih Tekke is also said to be open to Onuachu’s departure, with the Trabzonspor boss keen to recruit a more mobile striker.
Successful Return To Papara Park
Having enjoyed a successful loan stint at Trabzonspor during the 2023/24 season, Onuachu returned to the club on a permanent deal last summer.
He ended his first season with the Black Sea Storm on 22 goals, sharing the league’s top scorer title with Eldor Shomurodov, and became the sixth player in the club’s history to achieve the feat.
Onuachu was the hero for Trabzonspor in last month’s Turkish Cup final, scoring both goals in their 2-1 victory over Konyaspor.
