Trabzonspor is intensifying its efforts to sign a new coach to replace Fatih Tekke, who left his position following the team's 2-1 defeat to Ümraniyespor in the Turkish league.
Trabzonspor is also focusing its efforts on signing a new striker, with Richarlison among the candidates. Signing a new forward would impact the number of foreign players allowed in the squad.
Turkish journalist Furkan Yilmaz reported that Trabzonspor, which faces a significant obstacle regarding the Richarlison deal, must free up a spot on its current roster if the transfer is completed.

Trabzonspor must remove a foreign player from its list; in this case, it will gain the opportunity to register another new player.
Trabzonspor is preparing to submit its squad list for the UEFA Conference League group stage to UEFA at 1:00 AM today, Turkey time.
Any player omitted from Trabzonspor's submitted list will be ineligible to participate in the group stage, even if the club completes his signing later.
If the club signs a striker without registering him before 1:00 AM, Trabzonspor will be unable to utilize this new signing in six matches during the UEFA Conference League group stage.
Richarlison is on Trabzonspor's list of targets, and the club is racing against time to finalize all its transfers due to restrictions on the number of foreign players and UEFA squad registration requirements.
