Report: Liverpool now ‘closely following’ €30m star

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Besiktas midfielder and captain Orkun Kokcu ahead of a potential permanent transfer move. According to reports from Turkish outlet Fanatik, the Premier League side are closely following the 25-year-old as they look to reinforce their midfield options.

Besiktas paid €30 million for Kokcu earlier in the season, meaning Liverpool would likely need to offer significantly more to complete a signing. The Turkish club is expected to take a cautious stance regarding any offers for their key player.
