Mourinho said, 'If he had stayed, he would have been one of the highest-paid full-backs': The offer Fenerbahçe made to Ferdi Kadıoğlu to keep him has been revealed

Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who played for Fenerbahçe for 6 seasons, has headed to the English club Brighton for a transfer fee of 30+5 million euros.

Although the Yellow-Navies made an effort to keep the national football player on the team, Ferdi Kadıoğlu’s desire to play in the Premier League prevailed.

Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho also made striking statements about Ferdi Kadıoğlu after the Alanyaspor match.

Stating that Fenerbahçe does not want to sell Ferdi, Mourinho had used the following expressions:

"Fenerbahçe never wanted to sell Ferdi. The club made a great offer to Ferdi. If he had accepted, he would have been one of the highest-paid full-backs in Europe, but the player made the decision to leave."

Details of the new contract offer presented by Fenerbahçe to keep Ferdi Kadıoğlu in the team have been reached.

According to a report in Sabah, Fenerbahçe offered Ferdi Kadıoğlu 4 million euros, who was earning 1.5 million euros before his departure.

However, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who has set his sights on playing in the English Premier League, has said "yes" to Brighton's 2.5 million euro offer.

Ferdi Kadıoğlu had gone down in history as Fenerbahçe's highest-value transfer sale.
