Orkun Kökcü made such an impression against AS Roma that interest has only grown. On Friday afternoon it was announced that Borussia Dortmund wants to press ahead and talk to Kökcü as soon as possible.
According to The Telegraph Borussia Dortmund is not the only club interested in Kökcü. Scouts and technical directors of various clubs would walk down De Kuip to see the 22-year-old midfielder live at work. After the quarterfinals of the Europa League, no one doubts his qualities anymore.
Kökcü has indicated that he wants to fully focus on Feyenoord and the sporting achievements. Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, he has not yet signed a million-dollar contract and is keeping everything from himself for the time being. His father and management ensure that he can fully focus on football and shields him completely, especially during Ramadan when he demands extra from his body.
Interest has been reported from Benfica, Brighton, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United. The list of interested clubs has only grown in recent weeks, with clubs from Serie A and La Liga also showing interest. Kökcü has a contract in De Kuip until mid-2025. Feyenoord is taking into account an offer that cannot be refused in the coming months.
