GOOD NEWS : Liverpool ‘Working on’ Deal to Sign Baris Alper Yilmaz

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Turkey international Baris Alper Yilmaz.

The 24-year-old winger is under contract at Galatasaray until 2027.

Reds captain Virgil van Dijk was full of praise for Yilmaz after the Netherlands’ victory over Turkey at Euro 2024.

Liverpool are one of the Premier League clubs interested in signing Galatasaray star Baris Alper Yilmaz and have begun working on a deal, according to Milliyet.

The Reds have had a quiet summer transfer window with no first team incomings so far. However, they continue to be linked with centre-back options and wide players as new head coach Arne Slot looks at ways to improve the current playing squad.

Liverpool finished third in the Premier League last season behind Arsenal and Manchester City. Despite leading the chase for the title and points last term, the Merseyside club were unable to keep pace in the latter stages of the campaign as Jurgen Klopp’s farewell ended with just one trophy in the Carabao Cup.

If recent reports are anything to go by, Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs to hold an interest in Galatasaray winger Yilmaz. The 24-year-old had an impressive Euro 2024 campaign and helped Turkey reach the quarter-finals of the competition before they were knocked out by the Netherlands.

According to Turkish outlet Milliyet, Yilmaz is wanted by Liverpool this summer as they look to bolster their attacking ranks. The report claims Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham are also keen on the winger.

Yilmaz – described as being “very special” – has played his entire senior career in his homeland Turkey and he joined Galatasaray in the summer of 2021. He signed a contract extension in May last year and his current deal expires in 2027.
