Sky Germany reports that FC Augsburg attacker Mert Kömür is open to moving to England amid increasing interest from Hull City. Hull's pursuit of the 21-year-old Germany U21 international first emerged earlier this week. The Premier League club have now reportedly opened discussions with Kömür, his family, and his representatives over a potential summer transfer out of the Bundesliga.
Augsburg have been informed of the talks and are fundamentally willing to sanction Kömür's departure. A transfer fee of approximately €20 million is presently being discussed, though Hull have not yet opened formal negotiations with the Bundesliga club.
Kömür remains under contract through 2029 after receiving a new long-term Augsburg deal last summer. The Dachau native registered two goals and five ***** ists in 28 Bundesliga appearances last season, starting 18 league fixtures. His flexibility enables him to operate as an attacking midfielder, on the right, behind a central striker or as a false nine.
Several impressive tours of duty with Germany's U21s have also strengthened Kömür's standing as a potential future senior international. Augsburg's willingness to discuss his departure does not necessarily mean that Hull will be able to negotiate a reduced fee.
The Fuggerstädter recently demonstrated their readiness to reject an attractive package when they broke off talks with Crystal Palace over Chrislain Matsima. Palace had raised their proposed package for the French defender to approximately €25 million, with the total value potentially reaching €30 million.

Florian Plettenberg reports that Augsburg defender Chrislain Matsima's move to Palace has collapsed. The two sides failed to reach an agreement on the final contractual details despite discussing a total package worth as much as €30 million. Matsima will be remaining in the Bundesliga for now.
The proposed deal reportedly collapsed because Augsburg and Palace remained apart on the structure of the payments and performance-related bonuses. Matsima and his representatives have already been informed that the move will not proceed.
The 24-year-old will now return to first-team duties and travel with Augsburg to their training camp on Saturday. Sky notes that Matsima behaved professionally throughout the negotiations.
Palace initially reached personal terms with Matsima before raising an earlier €20 million bid to €25 million. Augsburg nevertheless remained determined to secure the major profit long anticipated for the defender, whom they purchased permanently from Monaco for approximately €5 million.
Matsima developed into one of Augsburg's most important defensive players and later signed a contract extension through 2030. A serious thigh injury in January interrupted his progress, though he returned during the closing stages of last season.

FC Augsburg have immediately rejected a €20million offer from Crystal Palace for Chrislain Matsima this morning.
Matsima, once linked with Bayern Munich, has already reached a full agreement with Palace over an immediate move.
The 24-year-old is still eager to make the switch to the English Premier League and sign a contract with the London club.
Should an agreement be reached, the centre-half would replace ex-Wolfsburg star Maxence Lacroix, who is joining Chelsea.
Such is the French defender's desire to join Palace this summer, Augsburg are expecting an improved offer to arrive today.
