Man United submit €25m bid for Fenerbahce left-back as Luke shaw Alternative -Reports

Manchester United have reportedly lodged a €25m offer for Fenerbahce left-back Ferdi Kadioglu.

It’s thought that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are eager to bolster the left-back position during the current transfer window.

Luke Shaw missed a significant portion of the 2023–2024 season because of various ailments.

It makes sense that United is looking for left-back reinforcements when you consider Tyrell Malacia, who missed all competitive action due to a physical setback suffered during the preseason.

Kadioglu, who was one of Turkey’s most impressive players during Euro 2024 until they were eliminated by the Netherlands in the competition’s quarterfinals, is one of the players rumored to be on United’s radar.

It was stated that the Red Devils were planning to hold talks with his representatives in the coming days to discuss the possibility of getting a deal for him over the line.

A subsequent report explained that United were in pole position for the 24-year-old, who is also on the radar of outfits like Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Wolves and another unnamed English club.

New Fener boss Jose Mourinho wants to keep Kadioglu in Turkey and any proposal to sell him this summer is expected to be strongly opposed by the Portuguese.

However, it seems that United are intent on pressing ahead in their pursuit of Kadioglu if fresh information revealed by Sabah is anything to go by.

According to the Turkish newspaper, United have offered €25m (£21m) for the full-back.

United’s offer is short of Fener’s €35m valuation of the player, whose price “doubled” after his heroics at Euro 2024.

It’s understood that Ten Hag “definitely wants to see” Kadioglu in his squad ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 term and if United will not raise their bid, then it’s possible that a swap deal could be entertained.
