Technical director Volkan Demirel evaluated the Champions League second qualifying round match in which Fenerbahçe beat Lugano 4-3. Demirel opened a separate parenthesis to the performance of the yellow-navy team’s favorite name, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, and had words of praise for the national football player.
Volkan Demirel’s Evaluation
Speaking to Assist Analysis, Volkan Demirel praised Ferdi Kadıoğlu’s performance and stated that the national football player’s transfer fee should now be higher than what was said.
Highlights from Demirel’s Words
- “Ferd has reached another level now. I also remember the day Ferd first arrived. There is a huge difference between his current state and when he first arrived.”
- “He is a player who is improving himself individually and thinking about how he can contribute more to himself. I think we can talk about how much higher he can raise the bar from now on.”
- “It is a huge gain for Fenerbahçe. Ferdi’s transfer situation is being talked about a lot. I think 25-30 million euros are very low figures for Ferdi.”
- “It is very difficult to find a player like him after sending Ferdi away. His costs were low when he first arrived, but now he will make a great contribution to Fenerbahçe financially.”
Ferdi Kadıoğlu’s Career
The 24-year-old young football player has been playing for Fenerbahçe since 2018. Ferdi, who was also called up to the National Team, played in 20 matches in total and scored 1 goal.
