Turkish transfer expert Ekrem Konur reports that Borussia Dortmund want to strengthen their squad with Augsburg attacking midfielder Mert Kömür. The German club have entered the race alongside Italian side AC Milan for the young talent.
BVB view the 20-year-old as a key target to boost creativity in the centre of the pitch. German media outlet Ligainsider.de claims the player favours a switch to the Black and Yellows over a move to Serie A.
FC Augsburg hold a strong position in any negotiations. The Bavarian club tied Kömür to a long-term contract until 2029. This gives them power to demand a high transfer fee.
Sources suggest the Germany U21 star could cost between €25 million and €35 million. This price tag reflects his potential and lengthy deal with the club.
Kömür has made 26 appearances in the Bundesliga this season. He has found the net twice and set up three goals for his team-mates during the campaign.
