The Ferdi Kadıoğlu to Brighton drama continues to rumble on in the Turkish media, so it’s worth having a recap of what has been claimed over the past 24 hours.
On Wednesday, we covered claims from Turkey which stated the left-back had agreed to join to the Seagulls and that Fenerbahce would make a decision on Brighton’s offer today.
The amount of that offer was put at €35m, and at the time we said it was possible Fener were waiting for just a little more.
Then it was quickly reported Kadıoğlu’s agents had informed the Super Lig club that the player wanted a move to the Premier League, with Brighton pushing ahead for a deal.
Now Turkish journalist Resat Can Ozbudak reports that the key for Brighton has been Fabian Hürzeler calling Ferdi Kadıoğlu and sharing his plans for the player.
Hürzeler told the left-back why he needs him, and that prompted the approval.
Other reports in Turkey have been covering Fenerbahce’s search for a replacement, with Tottenham Sergio Reguilon the favourite right now.
