Manchester United is keeping a close eye on left back Ferdi Kadioglu.
Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Ferdi Kadioglu, Turkey’s Euro 2024 star left back.

Erik ten Hag’s team had the onerous challenge of playing the majority of the season without a recognised left back, as backup Tyrell Malacia was sidelined during the season and first-choice Luke Shaw only appeared 15 times.

Diogo Dalot covered excellently for the majority of the second half of the season, but his natural position is right back, and United will be hoping he plays far more frequently in his preferred position next season to fully realise his potential.

As a result, Fabrizio Romano has already stated that United intend to sign a left back this summer to solve the problems they encountered last year.

Milos Kerkez, a Bournemouth player, has been widely connected with United.

Turkish-Football offers another intriguing option, reporting that “scouts from Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United were present at the Euro 2024 group stage decider between Turkey and Czech Republic, with a keen eye on Turkish left-back Ferdi Kadioglu.”

The Gunners have been scouting him for over a year, and United is now one of several clubs interested in signing the Turkish international this summer.

He is characterized as a “mainstay” in Turkey’s defense, with “attacking prowess and solid defensive play that haven’t gone unnoticed.”

The 24-year-old has played every game of the Euros so far and 51 times for his club Fenerbahce last season, scoring three goals and giving five assists across all competitions.

“The Yellow Canaries value their star man at €30 million,” therefore he could be a cheaper choice than Kerkez, who is expected to cost at least £40 million to buy.
Furthermore, Fenerbahce has been linked with players like as Victor Lindelof, suggesting that there may be a possibility for Ineos to be more creative in a potential deal during the summer of PSR.

Nonetheless, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund are reported to be major contenders for his signature, and if he continues to impress in the Euros, his price will only rise more.
