Arsenal's Kieran Tierney replacement? Gunners table €20m bid for Fenerbahce left-back Ferdi Kadioglu but may fall short of Turkish club's asking price

Kadıoglu, 24, has been a standout performer for Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig. His impressive displays have not gone unnoticed, catching the eye of top European clubs. Last season, Kadıoğlu made 51 appearances for the Yellow Canaries, contributing three goals and five assists, showcasing his versatility and attacking prowess from the left-back position. He is being considered by the Gunners as Tierney <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kieran-tierney-dig-mikel-arteta-arsenal-loanee-decisive-response-early-emirates-return-praises-atmosphere-real-sociedad/blt7e66cb2009dc050a#cs46dde8c34bc3b390" target="_blank">might settle down permanently at Real Sociedad </a>ahead of the new season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://ajansspor.com/haber/ferdi-kadioglunda-fark-10-milyon-euro-fenerbahcenin-istedigi-bonservis-667355" target="_blank">Ajan Spor</a>, Arsenal are ready to spend €20m (£17m/$21.5m) to land the defender at Emirates. However, Arsenal are alone in their pursuit of Kadıoğlu. German giants Borussia Dortmund have also expressed strong interest in the Turkish player and have made a higher bid of €25 million (£21m/$27m). The involvement of Nuri Şahin, a former Dortmund player with Turkish roots, is expected to play a pivotal role in their negotiations.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite the substantial offers from both Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, Fenerbahce have remained firm in their valuation of Kadıoglu. The club's president, Ali Koc, has reportedly set a price tag of €35 million or more for the talented left-back. This stance reflects the club’s recognition of Kadıoglu’s value and their desire to maximize the return on one of their key assets.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kadıoglu is currently under contract with Fenerbahce until June 2026. This long-term deal puts the Turkish club in a strong negotiating position, allowing them to demand a higher transfer fee.Meanwhile, Arsenal’s pursuit of Kadıoglu aligns with their broader transfer strategy of targeting young, versatile players who can add depth and quality to the squad. Manager Mikel Arteta has been keen on building a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts, and Kadıoğlu’s acquisition would be a significant step in that direction.
