Ferdi Kadıoğlu set on Brighton stay amid Fenerbahçe links

Ferdi Kadıoğlu has no intention of leaving Brighton & Hove Albion this season, despite growing links to a Fenerbahçe reunion. The full-back is focused on his Premier League campaign.

According to Turkish-Football.com, sources close to the 26-year-old say he is fully focused on Brighton, even as reports in Türkiye tie him to a return that could be made official if Fenerbahçe beat Lyon in the Champions League play-off. Those reports have also suggested a loan structured around potential Champions League qualification.

Kadıoğlu joined Brighton from Fenerbahçe in a €30 million deal and is regarded as part of the Seagulls’ long-term defensive plans. He is under contract until 2028.

He is working to establish himself as a regular starter.

Kadıoğlu previously spent six years at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, drawing widespread praise before his move to England. With his focus in the Premier League, Fenerbahçe will now look at alternative full-back options late in the window.
