Both clubs have the defender on their respective transfer ‘list’, according to Sabuncuoğlu, but neither side has submitted an official bid yet. Dortmund is reportedly turned off by Fenerbahçe’s hefty transfer demands.
Sabuncuoğlu tweeted that Borussia Dortmund, interested in Ferdi Kadıoğlu, has contacted different names for the left-back due to Fenerbahçe’s request for 30 million euros.
“Manchester United is very interested in Ferdi Kadıoğlu.” They have not contacted the club or made an offer yet, but he is officially on their list.
“They will meet with the player side in the coming days to ask him about joining the club.”
Kadıoğlu has starred for Turkey at UEFA Euro 2024. The left-back, who can also play midfield or winger, started all five games for Turkey as they made an unexpected run to the quarterfinals.
