The national team player, who arrived in the stands with President Serdal Adalı, was greeted with applause and could not hold back his tears during the video clip. Orkun began his remarks by saying, "My dear family," and continued:

"I'm the happiest person in the world right now. I said I was excited when I got off the plane yesterday, but I'm even more excited here. I can't believe it. Thank you for coming."

He made the stands shoot three and threw the ball

Orkun Kökçü , who asked for support from the black and white fans, said, "All I ask is for you to support my teammates, our coach, our president, and me. Let's win trophies, let's win championships. I have nothing more to say." After the signing ceremony, he walked onto the pitch, toured the stands one by one, and led the fans in a "three-way" motion, tossing balls from the sidelines into the stands. One fan entered the pitch and hugged Orkun Kökçü.

On the other hand, Beşiktaş Club also announced the salary of the 24-year-old player, Orkun will be paid a salary of 5 million Euros in Turkish Lira for each year.

HE DIDN'T WEAR IT NEW, HE WAS ALWAYS ON HIS BACK

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı stated, "We are here to announce a rebirth and resurgence. We are fulfilling our promise to bring in players no one would have ever imagined." He continued, "We are here to sign a special player like Orkun. He didn't wear this jersey for the first time; he's carried it since childhood. I hope we achieve many more trophies and championships together."
