Transfer rumors surrounding Milan continue to swirl, and in the last few hours, a new name has emerged from Turkey: Orkun Kokcu. The Rossoneri have already officially signed Samuele Ricci for the midfield and are set to bring in Luka Modric as well, who will arrive in August after his vacation following the 2025 Club World Cup. Negotiations are still ongoing for Ardon Jashari, while Granit Xhaka now seems to be a thing of the past. As a result, Milan could begin exploring other options for that area of the pitch — including the one leading to Benfica's central midfielder, as relayed via PianetaMilan.it.
The latest information comes from journalist Sercan Dikme of Sports Digitale. According to his report, Milan is one of the clubs interested in the 24-year-old player, Orkun Kokcu. In Italy, there is also Roma, as well as Inter, tracking the player, along with several English clubs. However, Besiktas appears to be in pole position, reportedly ready to pay €30 million to secure the deal. Moreover, the Turkish club’s president, Serdal Adali, has traveled to Portugal in an attempt to finalize the transfer.
