Benfica’s Transfer Decision on Orkun Kokcu: Future Decided

Orkun Kokcu, enjoying a successful season with Benfica alongside Kerem Akturkoglu, has caught the attention of top European clubs, with Liverpool among the rumored suitors.

Kokcu and Akturkoglu have been turning heads with their performances for Benfica this season, landing both players on the radar of Europe’s elite teams.

Most recently, rumors linking Orkun Kokcu to Liverpool emerged. Following the appointment of his former Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as Liverpool’s new head coach, the Turkish midfielder was speculated to be a possible target for the Premier League side.

According to a report by Football Insider, Benfica has made a decision regarding Kokcu’s potential transfer. The Portuguese club is reportedly prepared to engage in strong negotiations if Liverpool makes an offer.

However, the report indicates that Benfica is not actively looking to sell Kokcu, meaning they would only consider releasing the player for a significant transfer fee.

This season, Orkun Kokcu has appeared in 13 matches for Benfica, contributing 4 goals and 3 assists.
