Orkun Kokcu is attracting significant transfer interest as he aims to leave Benfica. Besiktas, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahce from Turkey have expressed interest in the player, with Liverpool also keen on acquiring him. However, Kokcu has communicated to Benfica that his preference is to join Besiktas, leading to negotiations between the two clubs. While Kokcu has quality, securing a regular starting position at Liverpool would be challenging due to the existing talented midfielders. The situation is advancing towards a potential move to Besiktas.
Kokcu has informed Benfica of his desire: he wants to join Besiktas. Negotiations starting between Besiktas and Benfica as clubs already discussed details of the move.
Things seem to be speeding along well for Kokcu to move to Besiktas, so perhaps he wasn't a priority target for Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool don't need Kokcu; they already have good options in midfield. Even if Slot and Kokcu had a mutual appreciation, regular first-team role seems doubtful.
