Tottenham and Everton move to bid for Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are reportedly preparing formal offers for Galatasaray's 26-year-old winger Baris Alper Yilmaz, who is listed at €50 million.
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have each begun the process of drafting concrete bids for Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to sources. The 26-year-old enjoyed a breakout season in Istanbul, tallying ten goals and twelve assists across all competitions and demonstrating the stamina and directness prized by both English clubs. Galatasaray has set a minimum price of €50 million and retains a 20% sell-on clause for Ankara Keciorengucu, meaning any deal must cover that additional premium.
Tottenham, under Roberto De Zerbi, views Yilmaz as a player who can thrive in their fast-paced system, while Everton, led by David Moyes, hopes his versatility will strengthen their wide options as they chase European qualification. Both clubs have made verbal enquiries and expect to formalise their interest shortly. Should the transfer fall through, Galatasaray is prepared to pursue Rafael Leão as an alternative target.
Why it matters
The bids could reshape the attacking options of two Premier League clubs and involve a high-value transfer from Turkey.
