It has been reported that Zenit made two offers during the winter transfer window for Beşiktaş's national star Orkun Kökçü, and that the black-and-white management rejected the proposal of around 30 million euros, stating that they do not consider selling the player unless an astronomical offer comes in.
Beşiktaş's national star Orkun Kökçü has attracted a surprise suitor. It has been claimed that the black-and-white team received two official offers for the 25-year-old footballer during the winter transfer period and that the management has made a decision.
ZENIT KNOCKED ON THE DOOR
Orkun Kökçü, who was transferred from Benfica for 30 million euros at the beginning of the season, was the target of criticism in the early weeks, but he has drawn attention with his rising performance recently.
It was stated that during the winter transfer period, the Russian team Zenit knocked on Beşiktaş's door for the national footballer. The black-and-white management rejected the first offer made in January, deeming it insufficient.
SECOND OFFER OF 30 MILLION EUROS ALSO REJECTED
According to claims, Zenit made a second offer of approximately 30 million euros in order to complete the transfer at the end of the season. However, the Beşiktaş management did not accept this proposal either.
The club has been reported to plan not to sell Orkun Kökçü unless an astronomical offer comes in. Orkun Kökçü has played in 19 matches in the Super League this season, contributing with 4 goals and 5 assists.
