Calafat, Heading to Türkiye, Wants to Finalize the Deal with New Ottoman Sensation

Onuralp Çevikkan, Trabzonspor's goalkeeper, is Türkiye's great promise and Madrid already wanted to transfer him for 10 millions

Real Madrid, led in transfers by Juni Calafat, is interested in the young Turkish prospect Onuralp Çevikkan. According to various sources, the club plans to reactivate negotiations with Trabzonspor to finalize the transfer of the goalkeeper.

Serhat Pekmezci, former talent scout for Fenerbahçe, confirmed that there was already a previous attempt by Real Madrid. " Madrid made an official offer of 10 million euros to Trabzonspor last season, but it was rejected," he noted.

A new attempt for the summer

Despite the initial refusal from the Turkish club, everything indicates that Real Madrid isn't giving up. Calafat, a key figure in the detection of international talents, would be willing to travel to Türkiye to renew interest in Çevikkan.

The operation could be finalized next summer, with a new offer expected to be more attractive to Trabzonspor.

The young goalkeeper, just 20 years old, is considered one of the great promises of Turkish football. His talent between the posts has caught the attention of several European clubs, but Real Madrid seems to be leading the race for his signing.

Çevikkan has already shown remarkable progress this season, establishing himself as a key player in his team.

Calafat, expert in securing major signings

Juni Calafat is known for discovering and securing the arrival of young prospects to Real Madrid. Cases like Vinícius, Rodrygo, and Endrick are examples of his ability to detect talent in international markets.

The interest in Çevikkan is no coincidence. The club seeks to strengthen its goalkeeping position in the long term, and the Turk fits the desired profile.

Real Madrid isn't alone in this race. Other major European teams have also shown interest in Çevikkan, which could increase the operation's cost.

However, Madrid's prestige and Calafat's experience could be decisive in closing the deal.

If negotiations are successful, Onuralp Çevikkan could join Real Madrid next summer. His incorporation would be a future investment to strengthen a key position in the team.

Calafat's next move will be crucial in determining the fate of the new gem of Turkish football.
