Aston Villa have entered the chase for Ferdi Kadioglu and are willing to pay the €30 million required to sign the versatile full-back.
According to Turkish outlet Aksam, Aston Villa could spend the €30 million required to sign versatile defender Ferdi Kadioglu in the summer. The Dutch-born full-back could make a significant move away from Fenerbahce in the close season, with many Premier League clubs, including Unai Emery’s side, showing interest.
Aston Villa to make €30 million Ferdi Kadioglu move?
Most top clubs are looking at versatile full-backs. The ability to play well on both flanks is valuable, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool all looking for a player of that profile. One of the striking names in that category is Ferdi Kadioglu, the Fenerbahce defender.
Arsenal have shown an interest and are ready to make an approach in the summer. Mikel Arteta may have thought about signing him in January but chose not to bring anyone in that window. In the summer, they could target him, but now face competition from many clubs, including Aston Villa.
Aston Villa will likely play in the UEFA Champions League next season and will need some key additions in the summer. A versatile full-back will be high on Unai Emery’s agenda, with the Dutch-born Turkish full-back a big target for them.
They know the massive interest of other English rivals in Kadioglu. But Aston Villa are prepared to pay the €30 million needed to sign him from Fenerbahce in the summer. Whether paying the required fee would prove enough to sign the full-back remains to be seen, but the player might wait to see which clubs are serious about signing him.
Kadioglu set to leave Fenerbahce
Kadioglu must have got a glimpse of how serious some clubs are about signing him in the summer and will consider who all come in for his signature once the season ends. He might want to jump to a big side in the Champions League, but playing time remains essential.
Hence, while the likes of Arsenal and other big sides like Manchester City are an appealing option for the Turkish star, a move to Aston Villa could prove a brilliant decision for his career.
