Transfer news: Fenerbahce demanding £17.5million for defender Simon Kjaer amid reported interest from Brighton and Liverpool

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have increased the asking price for Simon Kjaer, according to reports.

Liverpool and AC Milan are both long-term admirers of the 28-year-old defender, while talkSPORT revealed earlier this week that Brighton are also keen on the Dane.

With the defender in such high demand, Fenerbahce believe they can pocket a sizeable profit on their star asset during the summer window.

And his initial valuation of £13m has now been increased to £17.5m, according to Turkish newspaper Fanatik.

Monaco, PSG and Lyon are all in the race for the 28-year-old, but Liverpool and AC Milan remain at the front of the queue.
