Orkun Kökçü

The most recent and definitive valuation is the completed transfer to Beşiktaş in September 2025 for a reported total of €30 million. In the months prior (June-July 2025), reports cited Benfica's asking price fluctuating between €25 million and €40 million for various Turkish and Premier League clubs. Going back to late 2024, reports linked to Liverpool and Manchester United interest suggested a potential fee between €60-70 million, with some mentioning an €80 million asking price. A €150 million release clause in his Benfica contract was also widely reported at that time. His prior transfer from Feyenoord to Benfica in July 2023 was for a reported €25 million.

Our valuation is driven by the most recent and concrete data point: the September 2025 completed transfer of Orkun Kökçü to Beşiktaş. This move was structured as a loan with an obligatory purchase clause that was activated for a total fee of €30 million. While earlier rumours from late 2024 suggested much higher potential fees of €60-80 million amid Premier League interest, the actual transaction value provides a firm anchor for our estimate.
