Left-back Ferdi Kadıoğlu, also courted by BVB this summer, is close to signing for Brighton & Hove Albion. According to his current club Fenerbahce, the 24-year-old is travelling to England to undergo a medical. An official confirmation of the Seagulls’ move is expected to follow shortly.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the entire package costs the Premier League club €30 million. The same sum has only been generated once before in a Süper Lig exit: Sacha Boey’s transfer from Galatasaray to FC Bayern last January.
Kadıoğlu is under contract with Fenerbahce until 2026 and will sign with Brighton for five years. Since arriving from Nijmegen in 2018, the European Championship participant has increased his market value at Fenerbahce from 1.5 million to 30 million euros. The Dutchman is participating in a resale and receives a training fee. Brighton have made room in the squad for Ferdi Kadıoğlu and sent 20-year-old Argentinian left-back Valentín Barco on loan to Sevilla FC on Friday.
