Manchester United are reportedly looking to improve their squad by signing 24-year-old Fenerbahce defender Ferdi Kadioglu.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United have now stepped up talks to sign Ferdi Kadioglu. The Dutch-born Turkish international defender has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done. Meanwhile, according to reliable Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Manchester United have already discussed terms with the player’s agents, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement for him in the next few days.
Kadioglu is capable of operating as a left-back as well as a left-sided winger. Apart from his defensive ability, he will add attacking end product to the side as well. So, it is hardly surprising that Manchester United want to sign the player, who was born in the Netherlands but represents Turkiye.
Manchester United could certainly use more quality and depth in the left-back department. Luke Shaw has had his fair share of problems, and Tyrell Malacia has barely played for Manchester United over the last 18 months. They need more quality and depth in that area if they want to compete at the highest level.
Manchester United need more quality
Manchester United will be hoping to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season, and they will need to plug the weaknesses in their squad. The Turkish international certainly has the quality to improve them, and he could make a big difference for them in the wide areas.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite attractive for the player as well. It would be a major step in his career and he will look to prove himself in the English top flight. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for most players.
The 24-year-old is entering his peak, and he will want to join a club capable of winning major trophies. Manchester United could certainly provide him with that platform, and it remains to be seen whether they can work out an agreement with Fenerbahce soon.
