Fresh off securing their record 25th Turkish Super Lig title with a dominant 3-0 victory over Kayserispor, Galatasaray’s management has immediately shifted focus to the summer transfer window, with key decisions already being made regarding the future of their squad.
While efforts are reportedly underway to permanently secure the services of prolific striker Victor Osimhen, the club is also addressing the burgeoning interest in some of their current stars.
A significant transfer decision has reportedly been made concerning Barış Alper Yılmaz, whose consistently impressive performances have attracted the attention of several top European clubs.

The versatile 24-year-old, who has made a name for himself with his robust and dynamic displays, has previously been the subject of an offer from Premier League side Nottingham Forest, with West Ham United also understood to be monitoring his situation closely according to a report from Turkish newspaper Sabah [per Fotomac].
Yılmaz’s strong form has positioned him as a player of significant interest in the European transfer market.
In anticipation of a potential departure, Galatasaray’s management has reportedly set a reference price for the highly-rated national team player.
Galatasaray have valued Barış Alper Yılmaz at a minimum of €30 million. The report further indicates that both English and Italian clubs are expressing concrete interest in securing his services.
As Galatasaray prepares for another season of Champions League football, the potential sale of Yılmaz at a high valuation could provide significant funds for further squad strengthening, even as they aim to retain key figures like Osimhen.
The coming weeks are expected to shed more light on the future of the promising Turkish talent.
