Ferdi Kadioglu, a Turkey international for Fenerbahce, is still in talks with Brighton & Hove Albion, although Jose Mourinho’s team is seeking £30 million from the Premier League team.
The Dutch full-back, who was one of the standout performers at the European Championships this summer, has been connected to a move to England over the past few months.
The Turkish media has frequently highlighted Manchester United.
Meanwhile, HITC can confirm that Ferdi Kadioglu was observed by Wolverhampton Wanderers, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur during the 2023–24 season. Fenerbahce, who finished second behind Galatasaray despite scoring 99 points and suffering only one loss, was observed by these teams.
On the other hand, Brighton & Hove Albion are now leading the pack.
According to information provided to HITC, Fenerbahce and Fabian Hurzeler’s team are still in negotiations. However, Seagulls insiders stress that no agreement has been reached yet, with the Istanbul giants demanding approximately £30 million.
Though it’s not anticipated that personal terms will be a problem.
Ferdi Kadioglu’s conversations with Brighton and Hove Albion
Though his spectacular turn for Turkey at the Euros occurred on the left, the two-footed and flexible Kadioglu can thrive on either flank.
Kadioglu would offer competition and cover on both the right and left flank for Brighton ahead of their Premier League opening away at Everton on Saturday, as both Pervis Estupinan and Tariq Lamptey are out.
Furthermore, their highly vocal head coach would not take kindly to Fener agreeing to a contract.
Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Fenerbahce flyer
The former manager of Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho, is not hesitant to voice his opinions, and earlier this week, he made it clear how much he wants Kadioglu to stay.
Mourinho tells BeIN Sports, “I think there’s a lot of talk about everything.” “It will get you into problems if you get too sucked into these rumours.
“Teams should build their rosters and hold onto their finest players if they want to succeed. I’d like Ferdi to stay, but that’s an other story.
“He is an excellent professional and a wonderful young man. He is doing a great job of training. I hope he remains on the squad.
Vincenzo Montella, the manager of Turkey, has described Kadioglu as a “extraordinary” talent who “would be useful to any big club.”
If Brighton manages to sign the former NEC Nijgemen sensation, The Seagulls’ summer spending might reach around £150 million. Hurzeler’s team has already paid hefty fees to acquire Ibrahim Osman, Yankuba Minteh, Mats Wieffer, and new attacker Brajan Gruda, who is valued at £25 million.
After reaching an agreement with Mainz, technical director David Weir informed the Brighton website, “We’re delighted to bring Brajan to the club.” We have been following this youngster for a while, and he has already demonstrated excellent quality in the Bundesliga.
Fabian is eager to collaborate with him because he is a player he is familiar with.
HITC is also aware that Georginio Rutter’s Leeds United contract has a £40 million release clause, which Brighton is using.
