Multiple reliable new sources are reporting that Besiktas have submitted a concrete bid for Mert Komur. The midfielder remains under contract at Augsburg, but the opening offer has opened the door for discussions between the two clubs - though it is unclear at this stage whether the current bid will be enough to tempt them to part with a prized asset. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Besiktas are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. So far this season, Besiktas are steady at both ends (1.74 goals scored per game, 1.26 goals conceded per game). The role for Mert Komur would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Augsburg continue to be linked with Uchenna Ogundu, Arthur Largura Chaves and Stefan Posch while Besiktas are also rumoured to be tracking Lucas Perri, Alphonse Areola and Djibril Sow.
