Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Turkish utility man Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce in the summer transfer window.
According to an update by Turkish outlet Sports Digitale, Ferdi Kadioglu is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are ready to ramp up their efforts to sign the 24-year-old utility man. Meanwhile, widespread reports have linked the Fenerbahce mainstay with fellow Premier League club, Arsenal.
Ferdi Kadioglu and his rise at Fenerbahce
Ferdi Kadioglu has gone from strength to strength since joining Fenerbahce from NEC Nijmegen in July 2018. Born in Arnhem, he represented the Netherlands in age-group football but has chosen Turkiye as his national side, making his international bow for the Crescent Stars in June 2022.
The 24-year-old has proven himself as a utility man for Fenerbahce due to his ability to reprise the full-back role on both flanks and play as a midfielder. Kadioglu has turned out nearly 200 times thus far for the Turkish giants, chipping in with 17 goals and 22 assists. Meanwhile, the player’s progress in the last half a dozen years has not gone unnoticed.
Widespread reports have heavily linked the Turkish utility man with several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, have been keen on securing Ferdi Kadioglu’s services in the summer transfer window, with Manchester United joining the chase.
Premier League move beckoning?
Recent reports have heavily linked Ferdi Kadioglu with Arsenal. Mikel Arteta prefers versatile players in his squad, and the 24-year-old Dutch-born utility man is a viable target to bolster the full-back berths. Personal terms might not be an issue, according to widespread updates. However, Arsenal must step up the efforts to sign the Fenerbahce mainstay.
The Gunners need to buck up because Manchester United have joined the race to sign Kadioglu. The Red Devils have been scouring the market for a left-back heading into the summer transfer window after missing Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia for most of the 2023/24 campaign. So, the Turkish international is a viable target, with Manchester United ready to ramp up their efforts to sign him.
With Manchester United stepping up, Arsenal might face the risk of falling behind the Red Devils in the race to secure Ferdi Kadioglu’s services. It will be interesting to see if the 24-year-old utility man arrives in the Premier League in the summer transfer window.
