## Early career and Borussia Dortmund
Mor is a Turkish-Danish wide forward who came up at Nordsjaelland in Denmark, where his dribbling and acceleration made him a wanted prospect across Europe's big leagues.[2](https://scoutprofiles.org/p/emre_mor) His professional experience before the move amounted to a few months in the [Danish Superliga](https://www.edgepedia.org/danish-superliga), and his showing at the European championship in France placed him in the orbit of clubs including Celta Vigo before he chose Dortmund.[9](https://as.com/us/2018/01/07/futbol/1515308754_392308.html)
He joined Borussia Dortmund on 1 July 2016 for €1M from FC Nordsjaelland.[3](https://badb.info/football/players/e-mor/career)[5](https://datencenter.dfb.de/en/people/emre-mor/player) A lack of minutes led him to leave after one season, at his own request.[9](https://as.com/us/2018/01/07/futbol/1515308754_392308.html) • [10](https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/eng/News/Overview/Emre-Mor-completes-switch-to-Celta-Vigo.html)
## Celta Vigo
Celta signed Mor on 29 August 2017. The fee is reported differently across sources: €13.5M in one career database, €13M in a transfer-history database, and €14M in Spanish press, which described it as the second-highest investment in the club's history.[3](https://badb.info/football/players/e-mor/career) • [11](https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/players/emre-mor/transfer-history) • [9](https://as.com/us/2018/01/07/futbol/1515308754_392308.html)
His two seasons in Vigo produced little playing time. In 2017/18 he played only 651 minutes in LaLiga; coach Juan Carlos Unzué twice removed him from the rest of the squad for indiscipline, the second time indefinitely with three league rounds remaining.[12](https://as.com/futbol/2018/07/19/primera/1532004056_783032.html) In his second season an ankle sprain suffered in training on 16 April 2019 ended his year, and he finished it under 500 official minutes.[13](https://as.com/futbol/2019/05/16/primera/1557963147_679989.html) Across his Celta career he made 52 appearances and scored 2 goals, one of them against an amateur side in the [Copa del Rey](https://www.edgepedia.org/copa-del-rey); Spanish sports press later labeled the signing "the great fiasco" and coined the phrase "the Emre Mor curse" for the club's subsequent failures on differential wingers.[6](https://as.com/futbol/primera/el-mal-ojo-del-celta-con-los-extremos-diferenciales-f202606-n/)
## Loans and the Turkish years
Celta sent Mor out on successive loans: to Galatasaray on 31 July 2019, to Olympiakos Piraeus on 31 January 2020, and to Fatih Karagümrük on 26 August 2021.[3](https://badb.info/football/players/e-mor/career)
At Fenerbahçe he made 34 league appearances in total, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists.[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/20621/emre-mor) His time there was repeatedly interrupted by loans: back to Fatih Karagümrük from 31 January 2024, and to Eyüpspor from 13 September 2024 to 30 June 2025, with a contract renewal to 30 June 2026 registered in between.[14](https://www.tff.org/Default.aspx?kisiId=1898460&pageId=526) His Fenerbahçe contract was dissolved after the 2025/26 season, leaving him without a club until he joined NEC.[4](https://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/nieuws/nieuws/emre-mor-traint-mee-bij-n.e.c.-1.htm) • [15](https://www.transfermarkt.us/emre-mor/profil/spieler/283223)
## NEC Nijmegen
Mor trained with NEC Nijmegen from 1 July 2026 after his Fenerbahçe contract was dissolved, and the club signed him on a free transfer on 19 July 2026.[4](https://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/nieuws/nieuws/emre-mor-traint-mee-bij-n.e.c.-1.htm) • [3](https://badb.info/football/players/e-mor/career) In the 2026/27 season he has appeared in 4 [Eredivisie](https://www.edgepedia.org/eredivisie) games, all as a substitute, for 73 minutes with 1 assist, and has added 3 appearances with 1 goal in the Europa League.[16](https://theanalyst.com/players/20621/emre-mor)
## Playing style
Scouting profiles describe Mor as a quick, tricky wide forward whose strengths are acceleration, agility, and dribbling, with a low center of gravity that allows quick direction changes in tight areas; his stamina and defensive discipline have been rated as weaker points.[2](https://scoutprofiles.org/p/emre_mor) He is classified as a traditional winger who beats his full-back on the outside and delivers crosses, with creativity and dribbling as his standout attributes.[17](https://scoutingstats.ai/player/emre-mor--32436/) Across his club career he has averaged low goal output but higher assist rates; in the [Süper Lig](https://www.edgepedia.org/super-lig) his career per-90 figures are 0.09 goals and 0.35 assists, with the assist rate in the 98th percentile among positional peers.[8](https://footystats.org/players/turkey/emre-mor)
## National team
Mor has played 15 times for the Turkish national team.[4](https://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/nieuws/nieuws/emre-mor-traint-mee-bij-n.e.c.-1.htm) His breakout performances at the 2016 European championship in France were what put him in the orbit of major European clubs in the first place.[9](https://as.com/us/2018/01/07/futbol/1515308754_392308.html)
