Few sites saying cardiff city have agreed a deal for ozan kabak,was linked with move to man utd recently,hope this is true


HITC Sport



Cardiff City are certainly thinking big as they aim to pull off a remarkable escape from relegation.

L’Equipe claimed last week that The Bluebirds were in talks with Nantes striker Emiliano Sala ahead of a potential £18 million club-record deal. And reports from Turkey are now suggesting that Cardiff could beat some of the biggest clubs in Europe to an exciting young defender.

The Sun claimed in early December that Ozan Kabak of Galatasaray had emerged as a target for Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Roma. But could he be on his way to South Wales instead?

Possibly, if Fanatik are to be believed. It is understood that Cardiff have sensationally agreed an £8 million deal to sign Kabak who, despite being just 18 years of age, has been a regular at the heart of Galatasaray’s defence this season.

Now whether Kabak is keen to move to the Cardiff City Stadium remains to be seen, particularly with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal keeping tabs on him of late.

But this would certainly be a statement from a Cardiff side who seem determined to strengthen and keep their heads above the water.

If true looks like NW has run out of patience with SB and SM as the centre half pairing.

Why would he do that? Our CHs are the weakest part of our team

This would make sense but is he too young and inexperienced to make an impact now?
Assuming he is a talent :shock: then a purchase on a few years contract would be ideal.
If we stay up we need to look for a replacement for Bamba who will then be 34. But he might not stay with us if we are relegated, hence the need for a contract.

If thats your opinion then fair enough but im not sure warnock agrees our CH’s are the weakest part of our team. Im just basing my comment about him considering him as a DM because warnock has previously stated he is after a DM to help gunnar out along with a striker and a right back. Maybe hes added a cb to his list now though who knows?

Just paper talk. Agent trying to push for a move. Can’t believe people believe this when the deal with Man Utd had a 18million release clause on it. Highly rated youngster in turkey.

Does anyone think he is going to come to us when the likes of Man Utd and Arsenal are interested.

£8m for an 18 year old with that potential seems a bit low
