Al Nasr (Dubai) moves for Olivier Ntcham
Al Nasr has officially submitted an offer for the Cameroonian. Al Nasr (Dubai) moves for Olivier Ntcham Olivier Ntcham, currently under contract with Samsunspor in Turkey, has attracted concrete interest from the Emirati club Al Nasr SC, based in Dubai. The club has already made an initial bid for the Cameroon international. Sources report that Al Nasr SC has officially submitted an offer of €3 million to secure the services of the former Marseille and Celtic midfielder. It's a serious proposal, but one deemed insufficient by the Samsunspor management. The club, promoted to the Turkish Süper Lig in 2023 and based in Samsun, does not want to let go of one of its most experienced midfielders for just any price. Samsunspor is said to be demanding €4 million to open the door to a transfer—a figure seen as reasonable given the player's profile, with his contract running until 2026. Olivier Ntcham brings an impressive pedigree. Having come through Manchester City, he went on to make a name for himself at Celtic Glasgow and then Olympique de Marseille before moving to Turkey in 2023. His versatility in midfield—able to play as a box-to-box or holding midfielder—has caught the eye of many clubs, especially in emerging leagues like the UAE. For Al Nasr, this transfer would be a major coup in the summer market, especially as Gulf clubs look to bolster their squads with experienced talent. The question remains whether the Dubai side will meet the Turkish club's financial demands. As for Olivier Ntcham, he is reportedly open to the idea of a new challenge in a more exotic league, with the prospect of a lucrative contract on the table.

Fenerbahçe sign PSG centre-back Milan Škriniar
PSG centre-back Milan Škriniar (30) has joined Turkish Süper Lig giants Fenerbahçe, both clubs have announced. The Slovakian international centre-back is back in Istanbul after spending the second half of the previous campaign on loan with José Mourinho's team. When he returned to the French capital following his loan spell at Fenerbahçe, Škriniar was sent to train with PSG's youth team, as a way to show him he does not have a future with the Champions League winners. Škriniar signed for PSG two years ago as a free agent upon the expiry of his Inter Milan contract. However, PSG head coach Luis Enrique reportedly never greenlit his signing, which was approved before the Spaniard's arrival in the Parc des Princes' dugout. The Slovakian centre-back featured 37 times for Les Parisiens. According to L'Equipe, Fenerbahçe and PSG reached an agreement over a €10m transfer fee. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Fenerbahçe complete key defensive double signing
Fenerbahçe announced back-to-back signings of Slovakian centre-back Milan Škriniar and Portuguese right-back Nélson Semedo on Thursday. Semedo, 31, brings experience from the Premier League and La Liga, having previously played for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Barcelona. Known for his pace, technical skill, and attacking prowess down the flank, Semedo is expected to bolster Fenerbahçe's right side and offer a modern, dynamic presence in their defence. Škriniar, 30, a seasoned defender and former Inter star, was last seen at PSG. A rock at the back and a leader on the field, Škriniar's signing marks a major defensive upgrade for the Yellow Canaries. If he returns to form, he could be the backbone of Fenerbahçe's ambitions both domestically and in Europe. After narrowly missing out on the Süper Lig title in recent seasons, Fenerbahçe's aggressive moves in the transfer market suggest the club is all-in for the 2025–26 campaign, with Semedo and Škriniar joining the likes of Sofyan Amrabat and Archie Brown this summer. 📸 Carl Recine - 2025 Getty Images

Trabzonspor Close in on Benjamin Bouchouari
Trabzonspor are edging closer to signing Moroccan midfielder Benjamin Bouchouari from AS Saint-Étienne, with negotiations between the two clubs reportedly advancing. According to Foot Mercato, ASSE received a $3 million bid earlier this week for the 23-year-old, which was swiftly turned down. The French club are said to be holding out for around $5 million. Turkish journalist Safa Can Konuksever claimed: 'Trabzonspor's latest offer reaches $3.5 million, including bonuses. The difference is now around $1 million. An agreement could be reached by the end of the week.' Bouchouari, who joined Les Verts from Dutch side Roda in August 2022 for $1.1 million, has one year remaining on his contract. He has not featured in any of Saint-Étienne's pre-season fixtures since the squad returned to training. The midfielder has played 96 matches for ASSE, 70 of them as a starter. Despite flashes of potential, he has struggled to establish himself in the side and deliver consistent performances fully. According to Kuzey Ekspres , both clubs are 'close to an agreement' and discussions are continuing. The Turkish side, who finished seventh in the Süper Lig last season, appear confident of landing the player. Transfermarkt currently values Bouchouari at $5 million. A move would allow ASSE to recoup a decent profit on the Moroccan midfielder, who was brought in shortly after the club's relegation to Ligue 2. With just a year left on his deal and limited progress in talks for a contract extension, Bouchouari's exit looks increasingly likely. 'Saint-Étienne will have to make a decision quickly,' one French football source said. 'They can't afford to lose him for free next summer.' As it stands, Trabzonspor remain the frontrunners, but Girona have also shown interest. The final outcome could depend on how far the Turkish club are willing to go financially.
