Fenerbahce Goalkeeper Tarik Cetin on Trabzonspor’s Transfer List

Trabzonspor has submitted a formal offer for Fenerbahce goalkeeper Tarik Cetin as part of their efforts to strengthen the goalkeeping position ahead of the new season, according to verified reports from Turkish media outlets.

The Black Sea club, looking to add depth to their goalkeeper roster, has initiated contact with Cetin’s representatives and sent an official proposal to the Turkish international goalkeeper, who currently plays for Fenerbahce in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Trabzonspor’s sporting director has been actively engaged in transfer negotiations, seeking to bolster the squad with experienced players who can provide competition and reliability in the goalkeeping department.

Cetin, born on January 8, 1997, in Kadikoy, Turkey, stands at 1.93 meters (6 feet 4 inches) and has built his career through the Turkish football system. He began his youth career at Derincespor before joining the Fenerbahce academy in 2009, where he remained until 2018.

His senior career includes loan spells and permanent transfers, most recently joining Fenerbahce in July 2025 on a one-year contract. Cetin made his debut for Fenerbahce on October 5, 2025, in a Turkish Süper Lig match against Samsunspor, keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw.

Prior to his return to Fenerbahce, Cetin spent six seasons with Caykur Rizespor from 2019 to 2025, making 75 appearances in the Süper Lig. During his time at Rizespor, he renewed his contract in November 2022, extending his stay until the end of the 2024-25 season.

Internationally, Cetin has represented Turkey at various youth levels, including the U16, U18 and U19 teams between 2012 and 2014, accumulating a total of 24 youth caps without scoring.

Trabzonspor’s interest in Cetin aligns with their strategy to reinforce the goalkeeper position while adhering to domestic player regulations, which prioritize Turkish nationals in squad composition. The club aims to create healthy competition for the starting goalkeeper spot and ensure adequate cover for potential injuries during the long season.

According to reports, Cetin has shown a positive response to Trabzonspor’s offer, with indications that an agreement could be reached in the near future. The potential move would spot him join a Trabzonspor squad that already includes Ugurcan Kakir and Onana in the goalkeeping department.

This development comes as Trabzonspor continues to be active in the transfer market, having also expressed interest in other Fenerbahce players such as winger Oguz Aydin, as part of their broader strategy to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season.

The Turkish Süper Lig transfer window remains active, with clubs across the league evaluating their squads and making moves to improve their competitiveness for the new campaign.
