Germany-DR Congo left winger Makana Baku of Greek side Atromitos is being linked with a summer move to Azerbaijani club Neftchi PFK.
The 28-year-old, valued at €800k on Transfermarkt, is the subject of interest from the Premyer Liqa side, according to data compiled on 21 June 2026. The move is currently listed with an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that talks are at an early, speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Baku’s contractual situation at Atromitos is unclear, with no expiry date publicly recorded. That has fuelled suggestions he could be allowed to leave at low cost or potentially walk away as a free agent if his deal is close to its end or contains an exit clause.
Born in Mainz on 8 April 1998, the 1.77m right-footed attacker operates primarily as an attacking left winger and wears the No 32 shirt for Atromitos, who finished last season in Greece’s Super League 1. He holds dual nationality, having represented both Germany and DR Congo at various youth and expatriate levels, though he is currently listed without senior international caps in the latest data.
Baku has been a regular for Atromitos in 2025-26, featuring on the flank in their domestic campaign. In his most recent recorded outing, he started on the left wing in a Super League 1 fixture against [opponent not specified in data] earlier this month, a match Atromitos drew [scoreline not specified], contributing with his trademark direct running and pressing but without registering a goal or assist.
With his market value sitting at €800k and his contract details opaque, Neftchi may see Baku as a cost-effective wide option as they look to add pace and one‑v‑one ability in the final third. Should the move materialise, a switch from Athens to Baku would offer the winger a fresh platform in the Premyer Liqa to reshape his career trajectory and enhance his reputation on a new stage.
