Could Mert Kömür leave FC Augsburg for an English Premier League club? The 21-year-old midfielder, a key player during the Bundesliga's promotion season, is reportedly attracting interest from Hull City. According to reports by Sky Sport, preliminary talks between Hull City and Kömür’s representatives have already taken place, but no agreement has been reached yet.
FC Augsburg could be open to a transfer as long as the asking price is right – speculation points towards an offer in the region of 20 million euros. However, transfermarkt.de currently values the German U21 international at 12 million euros, up from just five million last year, reflecting his development since joining Augsburg.
Hull City's President Acun Ilicali recently took a creative approach to managing transfer rumors by posting a list of desired players on social media without naming them. A Germany flag next to a Turkey flag could symbolize Kömür’s dual citizenship and his current affiliation with FC Augsburg.
Other clubs interested in Kömür include Brugge, Porto, Eintracht Frankfurt, and RB Leipzig. In the winter, Istanbul's Besiktas offered over 10 million euros for Kömür, but Augsburg turned down the bid.
Kömür has been with FC Augsburg since 2019, having transferred from TSV 1860 Munich’s youth system to Augsburg. He has made 57 first-team appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring five goals and providing five assists. His contract at Augsburg runs until 2029.
