Meunier is leaving Borussia Dortmund

Nuri Şahin, former Real Madrid footballer and current Borussia Dortmund assistant coach, played a crucial role in signing Thomas Meunier, an experienced 32-year-old right-back, to Turkish team Trabzonspor. Şahin’s influence on the Belgian’s transfer was also notable as he convinced him of this decision.

The 32-year-old has accepted a one-and-a-half-year contract offer, breaking with his previous club by mutual agreement. This move will not entail a transfer fee from Trabzonspor as Meunier’s contract was due to expire at the end of the season. Trabzonspor coach Abdullah Avcı met with Şahin to discuss the signing and received very positive reports about Meunier. The Frenchman arrived in Türkiye yesterday with high expectations.

I wanted more prominence

The 1.91 meter tall Belgian full-back’s desire to get more minutes was crucial to his decision to join the Turkish club. The motivation for this decision is his goal to secure a place in the Belgian team for the 2024 European Championship.

Meunier’s arrival at Trabzonspor not only strengthens the team’s defense, but also shows the club’s attractiveness in the international market, thanks in part to Şahin’s work in the negotiations.
