According to a report by Sabah via Sport Witness, West Ham United will have to pay €50 million to sign versatile Galatasaray attacker Baris Alper Yilmaz. The 25-year-old is capable of operating centrally as well as in the wide areas. He will add goals and creativity to the side. West Ham need a player like him, especially after the departure of Mohammed Kudus.
It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay €50 million for the Turkish international. There is no doubt that he is a quality player, but the asking price is too expensive. West Ham may hope to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
West Ham were quite disappointing last season, and they have been very poor this term as well. They need quality players to bounce back. Signing a quality attacker like Yılmaz in January could prove to be a wise decision. Recent reports have claimed that West Ham are lining up a €40 million move for the Turk, slightly lower than Galatasaray’s valuation.
The opportunity to move to England will be attractive for the Turkish attacker as well. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in England. He will want to compete at the highest level at this stage of his career. The player has entered the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
Even though West Ham are struggling right now, they are a big club with an ambitious project. They have quality players at their disposal, and there is no reason why they cannot bounce back strongly in the coming months. The East London outfit have brought in Nuno Espirito Santo as their new manager. It will be interesting to see if he can help turn things around in the coming weeks.
The Turkish international has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past. It will be interesting to see if he can secure a move to England this time around. He will look to sort out his long-term future quickly and focus on his football.
The Premier League would be an exciting opportunity for him, and he will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement. It is fair to assume that the Turkish outfit will have to be reasonable with their demands for the move to go through.
