Trabzonspor was reportedly interested in acquiring Eduard Spertsyan for a fee exceeding €10 million. Nevertheless, Spertsyan declined the transfer following discussions with the Armenian Football Federation and Suren Chakhalyan, the interim head coach of the national team. It was reported by journalist Hrach Khachatryan that Trabzonspor did not demonstrate interest in the player, and Spertsyan himself had no intention of joining the Turkish club. This contradicted an earlier report from Taka Gazete, which suggested that Krasnodar had accepted Trabzonspor's offer. Spertsyan, under contract with Krasnodar until the summer of 2026, has been a pivotal player this season, featuring in 26 matches across various competitions, scoring six goals and making three assists. His market value is estimated at €20 million, as per Transfermarkt.
