Two days ago, Calciomercato.it stated Manchester United are above everyone else in the race to sign Fenerbahçe’s Ferdi Kadıoğlu.
A Spor say Manchester United have ‘stepped in’ to sign the left-back, who arrived at the Turkish club from Eredivisie side NEC for €1.4m in 2018.
José Mourinho wants to hold on to the 24-year-old, but his club aim to ‘make big profit’ from his sale this summer.
Erik ten Hag knows the Turkey international well, probably from their time in the Dutch league. It’s claimed the manager has insisted the Red Devils’ leaders to try and sign the player.
The report adds the Yellow Canaries value the star at €30m, and will not accept offers below this figure.
Kadıoğlu impressed for Turkey at the Euros and this seems to have not gone unnoticed. As well as the Red Devils, Borussia Dortmund have shown interest in him.
Sabah also claim Ten Hag insists on the defender and they add that the Istanbul club have received a €25m offer from Manchester United. Fenerbahçe are requesting €35m, which is €5m more than the price reported by A Spor.
If the Premier League side were to not increase their bid to sign Kadıoğlu, the possibility of including one of their own players as part of the deal could be studied.
