West Ham are reportedly preparing a £29 million bid for Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz, impressed by his Euro 2024 performances according to the Sabah newspaper.

Per the source, despite their interest, Galatasaray are reluctant to sell the 24-year-old, who is currently on vacation but could be tempted for that price.

Ideally, the Lions want to have Yilmaz part of the Champions League campaign and defence of the Super Lig.

The winger is under contract until 2027 so Galatasaray have a strong bargaining position.

Yilmaz meanwhile, is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League if an agreement is reached between the clubs.

Another club that stands to win from such a transfer is Keciorengucuspor who would earn 20 percent of the transfer fee.

Yilmaz’s past performance has 11 goals and 14 assists in 108 appearances for Galatasaray and was part of the title winning sides for the last two seasons.

In total he scored seven times and provided 12 assists in 55 appearances in all competition last season.

He has Champions League football experience and was one of the stand out players for Turkey at Euro 2024.

Yilmaz was widely praised after being moved to the wing in the Turkish national team side that reached the quarter-finals.

He is a versatile attacking player with impressive dribbling ability, physical power and pace, who can play up front and out wide – although his strongest position is on the wing.
