TalkSport reported that Manchester United want to sign Ferdi Kadıoğlu. English sources stated that Brighton, who previously sold Spanish left-back Marc Cucurella to Chelsea for 65 million euros, hold even higher expectations for Ferdi Kadıoğlu. Should the transfer occur, Ferdi Kadıoğlu would be among the most expensive left-backs in history.

According to Team Talk, Manchester United are monitoring the situation of Brighton defender Ferdi Kadioglu. The report also states that Brighton values Kadioglu at approximately €50m (£42m) to deter potential buyers.

According to Football Insider, Manchester United has taken action to sign Ferdi Kadıoğlu and intends to make an offer for him at the end of the season. The report adds that Manchester United wants to end its association with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. The same source notes that following Ferdi Kadıoğlu's performance in the Chelsea match, the club's fans made hundreds of posts on social media requesting his transfer.

According to Fanatik, Manchester United has added Brighton & Hove Albion’s Ferdi Kadıoğlu, a 26-year-old Turkish international, to its shortlist of potential left backs. Kadıoğlu joined Brighton in August 2024 and his contract is valid until June 2028. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, he has made 30 appearances. He has 29 caps and 2 goals for Türkiye. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €30.00m. Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe have also been linked with the player.
