The transfer is expected to go ahead for £30m which would make Fenerbahce a healthy profit but leave them with not much time to find a replacement before the end of the transfer window.
The Seagulls have been actively pursuing the Turkish defender throughout the summer transfer window, and negotiations are now in the final stages. Kadioglu has agreed personal terms with Brighton and is expected to join the club on a permanent deal.
The 24-year-old impressed at Euro 2024, attracting interest from several clubs across Europe. Brighton have fended off competition from Arsenal, Tottenham, and Wolves to secure Kadioglu’s signature.
Turkey ended up reaching the quarter-finals of the tournament for the first time in 16 years.
The Seagulls’ pursuit of Kadioglu reflects their ambition to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level. The addition of the talented Turkish defender would provide a significant boost to Brighton’s defensive options.
