'Kerem gave a performance like Neres'
The Portuguese journalist said that Benfica fans were surprised when the transfer of the Turkish national player was announced: “When Kerem Akturkoglu's name appeared in the Portuguese sports press, the fans were surprised because although he is an experienced player, he is not known to the majority of Portuguese people. Nevertheless, the fans were expecting a David Neres-like performance from the winger, meaning assists and goals. And that's what he did from the moment he arrived at Benfica.
'A fee close to 60 million euros is needed'!
The Benfica reporter also revealed how much the club will let Kerem go for, added: "Kerem Aktürkoğlu has a contract until 2029, is valued at 24 million euros but has a 60 million euro termination clause. Considering that the player is 26 years old, meaning that he is not a promising youngster, I believe that an amount close to the termination clause will cause the club to sit and think."
