Genoa interested in Besiktas midfielder Tokoz

The Turkish midfielder is wanted by the Italian outfit and a transfer is likely this summer.

Besiktas midfielder Dorukhan Tokoz has caught the attention of Serie A outfit Genoa. According to his agent, Necdet Ergezen, the Italian club held “informal” talks with Besiktas regarding a potential transfer.

“These are claims that I can’t deny because there was an informal meeting between Besiktas and Genoa. Genoa expressed their interest in the player and the two clubs spoke about the transfer fee,” Ergezen said.

The 22-year-old has seen his value skyrocket this season. Prior to the start of the season, he was valued at €700,000 but is now reported to be valued at around €3.5 million.

Tokoz, who made his first appearance for Turkey earlier this month, is also on the radar of several clubs from Europe

“Besiktas want more than €6 million for Dorukhan. We are open to a transfer to Serie A. However, there are also other clubs from Europe interested as well as other Italian teams,” his agent is quoted as saying.
