Barış Alper Yılmaz was linked to the distance from the Turkish club Galatasaray.
The player has been linked to several clubs in recent months, and the manager of Galatasaray, Okan Buruk, urged him to stay with the Turkish club for another season instead of joining a mediocre team in the Premier League.
West Ham United has expressed interest in the player, and Buruk suggested joining clubs like Liverpool or Tottenham rather than the Hammers.
Yilmaz said Snub West Ham
“Mr. Okan said to Baris;” The eyes of Europe are on Galatasaray at the moment, with the movements we have made, play for a year more when there is a target in the Champions League, show yourself better in the window and goes to higher level teams. Instead of going to West Ham, going to Tottenham or going to Liverpool, “said Turkish journalist Ali Kucuk on Haber Sarrikirzi.
It will be interesting to see what the player decides. The 25 -year -old was very impressive in Türkiye and could prove to be an excellent signature for West Ham.
What will Baris Alper Yilmaz decide?
Tottenham and Liverpool have not yet taken a step to sign it, and it will be interesting to see how the situation is developing. West Ham wants to secure his signature and has made a verbal offer. The Turkish team runs around 40 million euros. The player is under contract until 2027, and any purchasing club will have to respond to the price requested. It remains to be seen if West Ham is ready to spend 40 million euros over him.
West Ham needs more quality and depth in the attack, and the 25 -year -old Turkish international will add objectives and creativity to their side.
