Germany-DR Congo left winger Makana Baku of Greek side Atromitos is being linked with a summer move to Turkish Süper Lig club Kocaelispor, with the transfer rated at a 36% probability according to the latest data.
The 28-year-old, valued at €800k, is entering an uncertain phase of his career, with no contract expiry date publicly listed at Atromitos and the prospect of a future free-agent exit not being ruled out by observers following his situation. Kocaelispor are understood to be exploring the conditions of a potential deal as they look to add pace and directness in wide areas.
Born in Mainz on 8 April 1998 and standing at 1.77m, Baku is a right-footed attacker whose main position is on the left wing, cutting inside to threaten goal. He holds dual nationality with Germany and DR Congo, and his versatility across the front line has helped him establish himself in the Greek Super League 1 since joining Atromitos, where he wears the number 32 shirt.
Baku’s most recent outing for Atromitos came in the closing weeks of the 2025-26 Super League 1 campaign, when he featured on the left flank in a tight home defeat against a fellow mid-table opponent, working the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 loss and providing several dangerous runs without registering a goal or assist. His performances across the season have underpinned his current valuation on Transfermarkt.
With no confirmed contract end date on record and interest emerging from Turkey, Baku’s next move could prove pivotal. A switch to Kocaelispor – whether now for a fee or later as a possible free agent – would offer him a fresh platform in the Süper Lig to reshape his career trajectory and strengthen his reputation beyond Greece.
