Liverpool’s interest in Orkun Kökçü is heating up, as Arne Slot reportedly seeks to reunite with his former Feyenoord captain.
Since joining SL Benfica, the 23-year-old Turkish international has made a significant impact, contributing four goals and three assists in just nine appearances this season. His box-to-box ability and versatility have captured the attention of several top European clubs.
While Liverpool pondered signing him last summer, their interest remains strong, with the club scouting the midfielder’s recent performances.
However, landing Kökçü won’t be easy. His £126 million release clause at Benfica is a formidable barrier, and convincing the Portuguese side to part with their midfield maestro will be a major challenge for the Reds.
Nonetheless, Slot’s eagerness for a reunion might push Liverpool to take bold steps in the next transfer window.
