Tikvesh poised for record sale — Nfantli Sila targeted by Turkish club
Turkish sponsor has offered €650,000 for the Gambian striker; Tikvesh has signed Adeshina Lukman amid uncertainty over Sila's availability.
31.08.2026 — Tikvesh could complete the biggest transfer in the club's history after a Turkish sponsor tabled an offer worth €650,000 for Gambian striker Nfantli Sila. The bid is for the services of the forward who has been one of the Prva Liga's most dangerous scorers this season.
The move is being advanced by the controversial César Bravo, who — according to club sources — is close to finalising the deal with a Turkish side that is seriously considering bringing the young goalscorer into its squad.
From Turkey back to Turkey — and possibly away again
Sila originally arrived at Tikvesh from Turkey, having played for lower-league Keçiörengücü before his breakthrough in Kavadarci. He has scored four goals in the last four league games, and even in the 0:5 win against Bashkimi he hardly featured on the pitch.
In response to the transfer interest, Tikvesh moved quickly to add another attacking option: Adeshina Lukman was presented as a new signing yesterday. At this stage the club has not confirmed whether Sila will be available for tomorrow's clash with Vardar or whether Lukman is already registered to play.
There are also reports that Sila could be sold now but remain at Tikvesh on loan until January. The club has promised official information in the coming days, while Turkey's transfer window remains open until Friday.
Separately, Tikvesh hosts champions Vardar today at 17:00 in Kavadarci in the final match of the fifth round of the domestic championship.
