Fanatik has reported that Fenerbahçe is interested in acquiring Orkun Kökçü during the summer transfer window, viewing him as an ideal player to strengthen their team by giving him more freedom to play as an offensive midfielder. However, the club faces a challenge as Benfica is unwilling to sell Orkun for less than 40 million Euros, a price that is considered high for Fenerbahçe. It is known that Orkun has previously admitted to being a Beşiktaş fan. Additionally, A Bola has mentioned that Orkun Kökçü recently had a heated dispute with Benfica's coach Bruno Lage after being substituted in a FIFA Club World Cup match against Auckland City, an incident that reportedly intensified Fenerbahçe's interest. Furthermore, José Mourinho, who leads Fenerbahçe, is eager to have Orkun as the marquee signing for the summer.
