Brighton & Hove Albion have made 'official contact' with the representatives of Fenerbahce defender and Turkish international Ferdi Kadioglu over a move to the Amex.

That's according to Turkish transfer expert Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, who claims the Seagulls are one of three clubs looking at the 24-year-old.

Sabuncuoglu said Albion have contacted the player's representatives with a view to signing the left-back ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

He tweeted: "Brighton made official contact with the player's side to add Ferdi Kadioglu to their squad and asked about his situation!"

Sabuncuoglu also revealed that European heavyweights Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in Kadioglu.

Both clubs have the defender on their respective transfer 'list', according to Sabuncuoglu, but neither side have lodged an official offer yet - with Dortmund reportedly put off by Fenerbahce's high transfer demands.

Sabuncuoglu tweeted: "Borussia Dortmund, which is interested in Ferdi Kadioglu, determined and contacted new alternative names for the left-back because Fenerbahce wanted 30 million euros.

"Ferdi is still on Dortmund's list, but they have not made an official offer yet due to the high transfer request.

"They will meet with the player side in the coming days to ask him about joining the club."

Kadioglu has starred for Turkey at UEFA Euro 2024. The left-back, who can also play as a midfielder or a winger, appeared in all five games for Turkey as they made a surprising run to the quarter-finals.

The defender, who was born in the Netherlands to a Turkish father, represented the Dutch at youth level before making the switch to Turkey in 2022. He has since won 20 senior caps for his father's country.

Kadioglu has also made nearly 200 appearances for Fenerbahce since signing from Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen in July 2018.
