Liverpool could be closer to adding Orkun Kokcu to their squad, as the Benfica midfielder has expressed interest in reuniting with Arne Slot, whom he knows well from their time at Feyenoord.
The 23-year-old Turk is seen as a promising addition to the Reds' midfield, as they aim to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season. However, Anfield would need a significant offer to convince Benfica to part ways with their star.
Arne Slot wants to reunite with an old acquaintance
The bond between Kokcu and Slot dates back to their days at Feyenoord, where the Dutch coach not only managed to bring out the midfielder's potential but also entrusted him with the captain's armband, showing the confidence and connection between them. This special bond has made the Turkish international view a possible move to Liverpool favorably, despite the competition in the Premier League and the expected high transfer cost to lure him from Lisbon.
In his first season in the Primeira Liga, Kokcu has demonstrated dynamism and creative ability, already making several goal contributions and assists so far. His performance has attracted the attention of major European teams, but Liverpool seems to have an edge, fueled by Kokcu's desire to work once again under Slot's guidance.
The prospect of a reunion at Anfield between Slot and his former player raises high expectations, especially considering the key role Kokcu could play in Liverpool's midfield. The coming months will be crucial to see if this mutual interest translates into a concrete offer and if Liverpool manages to secure the signing of one of the most coveted midfielders at the moment.
