Augsburg to lose youngster: Frankfurt and Leipzig bid for Kömür

Mert Kömür wants to leave FC Augsburg. The 20-year-old midfielder has signaled his desire to transfer, and the FCA has already received inquiries.

What's happening with Kömür?

With Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig, two Bundesliga clubs are now seriously bidding for Kömür. Besiktas and FC Porto, who had already made a move in the winter, are still interested.

Why is Kömür in demand?

Kömür has been with the FCA's youth department since 2019 and made his professional debut in April 2024. Just a month later, he became the youngest Bundesliga scorer in the club's history in his first start.

How is Augsburg reacting?

Augsburg is open to negotiations but is asking for 20 million euros for the homegrown player. The German-Turkish player, born in Dachau, had extended his contract just a year ago until 2029.

What's next?

Whether Augsburg prefers a Bundesliga club or a foreign club as a buyer will depend on the amount of the actual bids. A possible move to Besiktas would influence the decision on a change of association.
