Liverpool Scout Familiar Face as Midfield Reinforcement Plans Take Shape
Kökçü Identified as Midfield Priority
Liverpool’s recruitment team, led by sporting director Richard Hughes, has targeted Benfica’s Orkun Kökçü as a key midfield option for the upcoming summer transfer window. The 24-year-old Turkish international, who had a successful season at Feyenoord under Arne Slot, is noted for his tactical intelligence and creativity, contributing significantly to his team’s title win. While his €150 million release clause is high, early negotiations may lead to a more favorable price, and his familiarity with Slot could enhance his fit at Anfield.
