The 23-year-old Turkey international, who joined Benfica from Feyenoord in 2023, has been linked with a return to the Turkish Süper Lig, and Beşiktaş have now finalized terms to bring him to Istanbul.
Kökçü is expected to sign a long-term contract with the Black Eagles after completing his medicals in the coming days. The deal marks a significant reinforcement for the club's midfield options.
