Brighton & Hove Albion fullback Ferdi Kadıoğlu has no intention of leaving the Premier League club this season, despite persistent media reports linking him with a dramatic return to former side Fenerbahçe.
Reports in Turkiye claimed that Fenerbahce are preparing a move for the full-back which they will make official if they make it past Lyon in the Champions League playoff round.
The Turkish international left-back has been heavily linked with a return to Istanbul, with reports suggesting the Yellow Canaries were eyeing a loan deal structured around potential Champions League qualification.
Kadıoğlu Committed to Premier League Progress
Sources close to the player have confirmed to Turkish-Football that the 26-year-old is completely focused on his career in England and has no plans to cut short his time at the Amex Stadium:
Kadıoğlu remains fully committed to establishing himself as a long-term starter at Brighton and is not pursuing a move back to the Süper Lig.
Following his €30 million transfer from Fenerbahçe, Kadıoğlu remains a key part of the Seagulls’ squad layout and long-term defensive strategy.
Bound to the Premier League side on a long-term contract running through 2028, both the player and club view his ongoing development in England as the primary objective.
Fenerbahçe Forced to Look Elsewhere
Kadıoğlu enjoyed a standout six-year spell at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, earning widespread praise from fans before securing his high-profile move to England.
However, with the versatile defender firmly intent on remaining in the Premier League, Fenerbahçe will have to direct their late-window transfer search toward alternative full-back targets.
