Besiktas expressed interest in acquiring Mert Kömür from FC Augsburg, but the club was unwilling to sell him. This inquiry ultimately did not result in a successful negotiation. As reported by 'Bild', Besiktas's interest was a component of a larger strategy aimed at recruiting players with Turkish heritage from the Bundesliga, demonstrating their ongoing efforts in the transfer market. Nonetheless, their pursuits involving Kömür, as well as Atakan Karazor from VfB Stuttgart, were unsuccessful, as both clubs declined to enter into negotiations.
