Trabzonspor linked with unhappy Ipswich man Núñez for January
The situation
Marcelino Núñez is said to be enduring a difficult spell at Ipswich Town, and the story floating around is that Trabzonspor could offer the Chile midfielder an escape route in the January window, which opens for the Super Lig on 1 January 2027 and shuts on 5 February. There is no agreement, no fee and no sign of talks between the clubs. What exists is a suggestion that the player might push for a move, nothing firmer.
The reporting
The sourcing is slight. Sport Witness was carrying it by 6 November, and it was repeating another report rather than breaking anything itself. No trusted reporter has backed this. Everyone circulating it is a tabloid or an aggregator, so what you have is a single claim echoed, not several outlets reporting independently.
The outlook
This is a remote chance. Núñez signed only on 29 August 2025 and has 30 months left on his contract when the window opens, so Ipswich hold every card and have no reason to move a player they paid for last year. For this to become real you would need an actual approach, a fee on the table, and the player forcing the issue. None of that is present.
The context
Ipswich paid Norwich City €9m for Núñez in 2025, and he is valued at €21m today. Trabzonspor have spent at that level this year, paying FC Midtjylland €17m for Franculino, so the money would not be beyond them.
What happens next
What changes this is simple: a concrete bid from Trabzonspor once January opens, or clear word that Núñez has asked to leave.
Marcelino Núñez’s real transfer fees, for context, not a prediction.
