Trabzonspor has finalized the transfer of midfielder Christ Inao Oulaï to Fiorentina for a guaranteed fee of 26 million euros, according to the club’s official disclosure to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP). The deal includes 4.61 million euros in performance-based bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause, marking a significant financial milestone for the Turkish club.
The Financial Impact of the Oulaï Transfer
The transfer represents a significant financial milestone for the Turkish club. Beyond the 26 million euro base fee, the potential total revenue reaches 30.61 million euros if all performance incentives are triggered. The inclusion of a 10% share in future sales ensures that the club retains a long-term financial interest in the 20-year-old Ivorian international’s career path in Serie A.
Did you know?
At the time of his arrival from Bastia for 5.5 million euros, Oulaï’s market value was estimated at just 600,000 euros.
Comparing Historic Club Records
While the Oulaï deal is a major financial win, it sits just behind the club’s all-time record. According to club records, the highest transfer fee ever received by Trabzonspor remains the 27.5 million euro sale of Uğurcan Çakır to Galatasaray. The Oulaï transfer solidifies its place as the second-most expensive departure in the club’s history.
| Player | Destination | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Uğurcan Çakır | Galatasaray | 27.5M Euro |
| Christ Inao Oulaï | Fiorentina | 26M Euro (Base) |
Player Performance and Trajectory
Oulaï’s rapid ascent is backed by consistent output on the pitch. During his tenure at Trabzonspor, the midfielder made 31 appearances, contributing 2 goals and 4 assists.
