Ferdi Kadioglu - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back training with Seagulls Kadioglu is back in training with Brighton during preseason, according to the club.

Impact Kadioglu had a decent 2025/26 campaign, making 37 Premier League appearances (34 starts) and playing 3,135 minutes while scoring one goal, performances that earned him Brighton's Men's Player of the Season award and made him one of the league's most reliable defenders across multiple positions. He capped that off with a productive World Cup run for Turkey, leading the team in chances created before the country's group stage exit. With his return to Brighton training, Kadioglu now shifts his focus to building on that breakout season, and his versatility across the back line and midfield should keep him as one of coach Fabian Hurzeler's most trusted options heading into the new campaign.

Balanced display in defeat Kadioglu recorded one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Paraguay.

Impact Kadioglu delivered a well-rounded display on both sides of the ball, contributing two tackles, one interception and one clearance defensively while remaining one of Turkey's most dangerous outlets going forward. Alongside Kenan Yildiz he led the team in chances created with four, taking his tournament tally to nine across two games. Up next is the final game against the United States, and with Turkey eliminated, it remains to be seen whether coach Vincenzo Montella will give opportunities to players who haven't had much playing time, or aim to finish in the best way possible, with Eren Elmali as possible replacement.

Three crosses in loss Kadioglu registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and five chances created in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Australia.

Impact Kadioglu fired Turkiye's most dangerous chance from open play in the first half with a long-range effort in the 19th minute that missed the target, but his influence faded as Australia settled into the match and grew more confident. He logged the full 90 minutes, further confirming he is fully fit again for Turkiye, though he struggled to build chemistry with Kerem Akturkoglu and Arda Guler in the final third. Coming off a strong campaign with Brighton and entering the World Cup as one of Turkiye's most well-rounded players, Kadioglu will be expected to raise his level over the next two group-stage matches.

Impact Kadioglu had missed Saturday's friendly against Venezuela while his fitness was being monitored, but his return to collective sessions is a clean bill of health heading into the tournament.

JUNE 9 • ROTOWIRE

Misses final friendly Kadioglu (undisclosed) was not on the team sheet for Saturday's 2-1 win over Venezuela.

However, they may just be taking a cautious route and not risking him, potentially still an option for the opener.

Targeting return against Venezuela Kadioglu (undisclosed) could also feature against Venezuela as the coaching staff work to have the left-back available in time for Turkey's World Cup opener on June 14, according t...

Impact Kadioglu had been carrying some discomfort that was being monitored by the national team medical staff, and coach Montella's update suggests the situation is improving sufficiently to consider him for minutes against Venezuela. Turkey will be hoping to have their first-choice left-back fully available when the World Cup gets underway.

Discomfort being monitored Kadioglu (undisclosed) is reportedly dealing with some discomfort, with the Turkish national team coaching staff keeping a close eye on his condition, according to coach Vincenzo M...

Impact Kadioglu's situation will be assessed over the coming days before any further clarity emerges on his availability for Turkey's pre-tournament preparations. The left-back is an important figure in Turkey's defensive setup and the coaching staff will be hoping the discomfort proves minor enough to have him fully available when the World Cup gets underway.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet to end campaign Kadioglu had one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Kadioglu ended the season with a whimper, scoring only one goal during his season season in England despite playing a huge role. The left-back made 37 appearances and stopped 3,100 minutes, but created only 21 chances. Coming to the side, Kadioglu was expected to be an offensive threat consistently, and that never really materialized in his first full healthy campaign.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opener in victory Kadioglu scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Chelsea.

Impact Kadioglu wasted no time putting Brighton in front, striking in the third minute as he capitalized on Chelsea's failed corner clearance and rifled a first-time finish from the edge of the six-yard box to set the tone for a dominant night at the Amex. He was a constant threat down the left side, winning three duels and matching a season high with three interceptions over the full 90 minutes. The Turkish defender also showed real attacking intent with three shots (all on target), marking a season high and notching his first Premier League goal of the campaign.

Poor in service Kadioglu registered six crosses (zero accurate) and three clearances in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Five crosses in 2-0 win Kadioglu generated five crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Burnley.

Busy in loss Kadioglu recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Kadioglu was busy going forward, as he usually is, but couldn't find any end product during Saturday's loss. The winger has shown plenty of potential going forward as a creator and finisher, but it was a tough day for Brighton throughout. Kadioglu should have more upside against lesser teams in the league, especially if he maintains a role further up the pitch.
