BREAKING NEWS: Bid Accepted: Club Agrees to Sell World-Class Playmaker to Arsenal for Just £40, with the Star’s Medical Scheduled
Arsenal Football Club has reportedly submitted an initial offer
To acquire one of Turkey’s top football talents, as stated by Nutuk. This move comes as the Gunners continue to strengthen their squad, having already secured the signings of goalkeeper David Raya and left-back Riccardo Calafiori during the ongoing transfer window. However, with the transfer deadline approaching on August 30, the club may not be done with its recruitment efforts.
Currently, Arsenal is said to be negotiating a potential deal for Mikel Merino
A midfielder from Real Sociedad. Alongside this, Nutuk claims that the North London club is also pursuing Ferdi Kadioglu, a versatile player from Fenerbahce. Earlier reports from May indicated that Kadioglu, who is 24 years old, had agreed to personal terms with Arsenal. Now, it appears that Arsenal has formalized its interest by submitting an initial bid of approximately £17 million.
Despite Arsenal’s interest, Fenerbahce is hesitant
To let go of Kadioglu for anything less than £30 million. Kadioglu, who primarily plays as a full-back, had an impressive season last year, making 51 appearances for Fenerbahce. He managed to score five goals and provide three assists, with the majority of his appearances (43) being in the left-back position.
Given that Arsenal has already addressed their left-back position
By signing Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, it is uncertain whether they would pursue Kadioglu unless they see him as an option in a more attacking role. Kadioglu, who was born in the Netherlands, began his career as a forward, with over 40 appearances on the right and left wings, and has also played as a number 10 on 59 occasions. However, his impact in the final third has been somewhat limited.
There is speculation that this transfer news
Might be influenced by Kadioglu’s agents to spark interest from other clubs. While Arsenal may have shown interest in Kadioglu earlier in the summer, the arrival of Calafiori could have diminished the likelihood of Kadioglu joining the club.
