Brighton Nearing Ferdi Kadıoğlu Transfer: Fenerbahçe Targets Goretzka, Amrabat, Lo Celso, and Reguilon

Brighton, who have been persistently interested in signing Fenerbahçe’s star player Ferdi Kadıoğlu, are nearing a deal, and Fenerbahçe are preparing to make big moves in the transfer market once his departure is confirmed.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu Nearing Brighton Move

Despite Fenerbahçe’s best efforts to retain him, Ferdi Kadıoğlu has made it clear in recent talks that he wishes to join Brighton. The English club has urged Fenerbahçe to finalize the deal this week, which would open up Fenerbahçe’s spending limit for further signings.

Transfer Plans After Ferdi’s Departure

Once Ferdi’s sale is confirmed, Fenerbahçe will focus on bolstering their midfield and left-back positions.

Leon Goretzka Targeted for Midfield

The club’s primary target for midfield reinforcement is Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka, who has been sidelined from the squad. Although Goretzka initially expressed his desire to stay at Bayern, his exclusion may prompt a change in his stance. Bayern are reportedly willing to facilitate his departure, but Fenerbahçe would need to stretch their budget to cover his wages.

Amrabat and Lo Celso Pursuits to Intensify

In addition to Goretzka, Fenerbahçe is also accelerating their efforts to sign Sofyan Amrabat and Giovanni Lo Celso. If Ferdi leaves, signing a left-back will become a priority as well.

Reguilon and Arcihe Brown Considered for Left-Back

Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon is one option, though Barcelona’s interest poses a challenge. Fenerbahçe may turn to Gent’s Arcihe Brown instead, with the Belgian club reportedly asking for €10 million. Fenerbahçe is trying to negotiate the price down to around €7 million with bonuses. Meanwhile, other potential candidates are also being scouted as backup options.
