Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz has been linked with a move away from the Turkish club this summer.

The 24-year-old winger has attracted the attention of a number of Premier League clubs with his performance this past season. According to a report from the Turkish publication Sabah, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will meet with the player’s agents in London in order to discuss a potential move.

Manchester United and Liverpool are keeping close tabs on the player as well. The 24-year-old will add goals and creativity in the final third, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for all four clubs.

Arsenal need to add more quality and depth in the wide areas. They need a deeper squad so that Mikel Arteta can rotate key players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli more often. Signing the Turkish international could prove to be a wise decision. He is versatile enough to operate on both flanks and he could be the ideal utility man for Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Tottenham need a versatile winger as well who can slot into multiple roles and add some much-needed depth and quality to the side.

Man United and Liverpool keen on Baris Alper Yilmaz

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United and Liverpool follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the player. Manchester United are expected to sell Jadon Sancho permanently this summer and Antony has been linked with an exit as well. The Red Devils will need more quality in the wide areas and the 24-year-old Turkish international could be a useful acquisition.

Meanwhile, Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has been linked with a move away from the club and Mohammed Salah will be a free agent next summer. The Reds need to invest in quality winger as well.

A fee of around €30 million (£25m) would be enough to sign the Turkish winger and it remains to be seen whether the Premier League sides are ready to pay up.

Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Liverpool are keen on signing the 24-year-old attacker and they will face competition from Manchester United and Tottenham hotspur.

According to a report from Milliyet, the Turkish international is valued at €30 million and it is fair to assume that the three English clubs will be able to afford him this summer.

Yilmaz has impressed in the Turkish league with Galatasaray and his performances have been quite impressive with Turkey in the European Championships as well.

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for him and the 24-year-old will look to prove himself at the highest level. He has picked up 7 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this past season.

Although he is naturally a right sided winger, he has the ability to operate on the left as well. His versatility will be an added bonus. Liverpool need more depth in the wide areas, especially if players like Luis Diaz leave the club. Mohamed Salah will be a free agent next summer as well.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the glare winger Baris Alper Yilmaz.

According to a report from HABER3, the Turkish outfit will demand €30 million for the 24-year-old winger and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs are willing to make a move for him. The report states that Manchester United and Tottenham are expected to take concrete steps to sign the player after Euro 2024.

Yilmaz has had an impressive campaign with Galatasaray, scoring seven goals and picking up 12 assists in all competitions. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Manchester United.

Manchester United might decide to cash in on Jadon Sancho this summer and they need more depth on the flanks. Antony has been quite underwhelming as well, and the Red Devils might need to bring in an upgrade on him.

Tottenham could use Baris Alper Yilmaz

On the other hand, Spurs need more quality and cutting edge in the final third and the 24-year-old Turkish international will add goals and creativity to their attack. The €30 million asking price is affordable for both clubs and it remains to be seen which of the two clubs decided to come forward with an official proposal.

A move to the Premier League will be quite attractive for the Turkish winger and he will look to prove himself in England. He has shown his quality in Turkish football, and there is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League as well.

Yilmaz is still only 24 and he is entering the peak years of his career. He could improve further in the coming seasons and he could be a very useful squad player for both clubs.

Bariş Alper Yilmaz is now understood to be attracting attention from Europe’s top clubs thanks to his impressive performances for Turkey at 2024 European Championship.

The 24-year-old winger, who currently plies his trade with Galatasaray, particularly caught the eye in the 2-1 win over the Czech Republic yesterday.

Sources close to CaughtOffside have confirmed that Premier League clubs, such as Tottenham and Manchester United, are keen.

Could Yilmaz be on the move this summer?

There’s no question that Yilmaz’s performances in Germany have encouraged Spurs and Erik ten Hag’s outfit to follow the forward more closely.

That said, the two English outfits aren’t the only clubs keeping a watching brief on the Super Lig star.

Brighton & Hove Albion, Lazio, Frankfurt and RB Leipzig all continue to be linked with the Turkey international (18 caps).

Sources closest to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Galatasaray have set a price tag of over €25m [£21.1m] for Bariş Alper.

How has Yilmaz performed in Turkey?

The former Ankara Demir man registered 13 goal contributions in 37 top-flight games in 2023/24.

Yilmaz is able to play across the forward line, though does feature primarily as a right-sided winger.

Brighton are competing with the likes of RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt and Lazio for the potential €15million transfer of Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz.

The 24-year-old Turkey international has impressed at Galatasaray and looks like someone who could make the step up to playing in a more competitive league.

Yilmaz will have options this summer, and sources with a close understanding of his situation have informed CaughtOffside that Brighton are weighing up making an opening offer in the region of €13-15m for the player.

Brighton have sent scouts to watch Yilmaz at Euro 2024, CaughtOffside understands, with the Seagulls’ new manager Fabian Hurzeler said to have specifically requested reports on him.

Yilmaz transfer: Galatasaray not keen to sell Brighton target

Yilmaz, however, is not a player Galatasaray are too keen to sell, and it is understood that offers in the region of €15m will not be enough.

It may be that the Turkish giants push for closer to €25m, though it will be interesting to see if some kind of compromise can be struck after negotiations.

Brighton would surely be a tempting project for Yilmaz after the fine work they’ve done to improve players in recent years.

Many star names at Brighton were not well know when they first arrived, but they flourished under previous managers like Graham Potter and Roberto de Zerbi, so Hurzeler will no doubt hope he can achieve something similar with a talent like Yilmaz.

Playing in the Premier League will also surely be tempting for an up-and-coming player like this, as it’s arguably the biggest stage of all and can help earn interest worldwide, making you more of a household name than you might be with a move to Germany or Italy.

Still, Leipzig have also done great work with their player development in recent times so might be seen as another good option for Yilmaz at this stage of his career.
