Leeds United will need to pay at least €20m if they want to sign Orkun Kökçü from Feyenoord at any point.
That’s according to Feyenoord Transfermarkt, who explain that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been handed a boost as Kökçü recently turned down a move to Hertha Berlin.
They report that Kökçü finds himself in a ‘stormy development’ at this moment in time having received a ‘generous proposal’ from the Bundesliga side.
There’s no mention of the details of this bid, but it was presumably a big upgrade on what he is currently earning given the generous side of it.
That means a move won’t be happening until the summer, thus giving Leeds their chance to work on a deal for the remainder of the campaign.
They’re one of several sides thought to be keen and a recent report indicated that they had been ‘in the stands’ to watch his recent performances.
Should they make a move at any point, they’ll have to dig deep, with it made clear that Feyenoord want around €20m for their player.
Whether Leeds are willing to offer that isn’t mentioned but with a January move now ruled out, this is one to keep an eye on for next summer.
