Konyaspor and Karabukspor Emerge as Contenders in Pursuit of Nigerian Midfielder Raheem Lawal
In a developing transfer saga, Turkish clubs Konyaspor and Karabukspor have entered the race to secure the services of Nigeria’s midfielder Raheem Lawal, currently plying his trade with Osmanlispor. Lawal, who joined Osmanlispor from Eskisehirspor in 2016 on a two-year deal, is set to become a free agent as his contract with the club expires this summer.
Sources suggest that both Konyaspor and Karabukspor have initiated contact with the 27-year-old midfielder, who has expressed a desire for a change from Osmanlispor, as confirmed by his representatives. A report from Fanatik indicates that Lawal is actively on the radar of the two Turkish clubs, both meticulously evaluating the prospect of acquiring the talented Nigerian player, who could potentially leave Osmanlispor on a free transfer at the conclusion of the season.
During the 2017/18 season, Lawal showcased his abilities with 16 appearances across various competitions for Osmanlispor. His versatility and experience in Turkish football, having played for Kayserispor, Eskisehirspor, Mersin Idmanyurdu, and Adana Demirspor since his arrival in 2013, make him an attractive proposition for clubs seeking midfield reinforcement.
Lawal’s European journey commenced with Spanish second division side Atlético Baleares, marking the initiation of a career that has seen him evolve into a seasoned midfielder. As the intrigue surrounding Lawal’s potential move intensifies, football enthusiasts eagerly await the resolution of this transfer narrative, poised to impact the Turkish football landscape.
