Trabzonspor's Interest in Timi Max Elšnik Back on the Agenda

Trabzonspor has reopened contact with Red Star Belgrade over Slovenian midfielder Timi Max Elšnik, whose transfer fell through at the last minute last summer. According to a report by Max-Sport in the Serbian press, the claret-and-blue side aims to strengthen its midfield in the mid-season transfer window.

The experienced 28-year-old had also been close to joining Trabzonspor in the 2025 summer transfer window. The deal, which was expected to be completed for around 5 million euros, was called off after Red Star's Bosnian midfielder Rade Krunić was injured. Following this development, the Serbian club decided to keep Elšnik.

Bașakşehir, along with the Greek giants Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, is also reported to be looking into the player, who has drawn attention again with his recent performances. Trabzonspor would therefore face a four-club race for his signature.
