Club Bruges targets Mert Kömür amid €12m interest from Porto, Leipzig and Beşiktaş

Club Bruges have identified 20‑year‑old German midfielder Mert Kömür as a transfer target. The Augsburg‑based player, valued at €12 million, has attracted interest from FC Porto, RB Leipzig and Beşiktaş, while his current club is reluctant to part with him at present.

Kömür was born in Dachau and this season he featured in 30 matches across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists. His contributions have made him a key element of Augsburg’s midfield.

He developed his early football education at TSV Dachau 1865 until 2016, then moved to TSV Munich 1860 where he played from 2016 to 2019. Afterward he joined Augsbourg, where he continues his professional career.

Since 2023 Kömür has been a regular member of Augsbourg’s senior squad, and his importance within the team has steadily increased. The club has indicated it would only consider a sale if a spectacular offer emerged.

Augsbourg has secured Kömür’s contract until June 2029, giving the German side full control over his future. This long‑term deal limits the options for potential suitors.

On the international stage Kömür has progressed through every German youth level and currently represents the Germany U21 side. His experience at youth level underscores his potential.

Beyond Club Bruges, the player is also being tracked by FC Porto, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Francfort. Beşiktaş, which recently signed Noah Saviolo, also keeps a close eye on the midfielder.

Transfermarkt lists Kömür’s market value at €12 million, a figure that may influence Club Bruges’ timing in the transfer market. The Belgian club must decide whether to act before the summer window closes.
