West Ham United are one of several European clubs to have been approached about a potential move for Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Football Italia. The Turkey international has reportedly been proposed to teams across the continent as intermediaries search for a move to one of Europe’s top five leagues.

Yilmaz Pushed Toward Premier League Clubs

As reported by Calciomercato.it, agents working on Yilmaz’s behalf have been sounding out clubs including West Ham, Inter Milan, Nottingham Forest, and RB Leipzig. The 25-year-old, most often used on the left flank, is seen as a flexible option who can play anywhere across the front line.

Yilmaz is under contract with Galatasaray until 2027 but is said to be open to a new challenge. This past season, he scored 14 goals and provided six assists across 48 appearances in all competitions. His international record is more modest, with two goals and three assists in 28 games for Turkey.

Asking Price a Sticking Point?

While West Ham have shown some level of interest, the Turkish club’s reported €35 million price tag could prove a stumbling block. Football Italia notes that no official offer has come from the London side so far.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest and Inter Milan are also believed to be weighing up a move for the player, which could complicate West Ham’s chances if they choose to push forward.

Uncertainty Around Next Steps

Galatasaray haven’t made any public comments regarding Yilmaz’s availability or their willingness to enter negotiations. With multiple clubs involved and the summer window just getting started, things remain wide open.

After a transitional season, West Ham are expected to be active in the market. Yilmaz is one of several names being linked as possible reinforcements up front, with the club looking to reshape the squad before the 2024/25 campaign begins.
