Agent informs club of impending Tottenham offer – Spurs on verge of placing bid

Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in Galatasaray forward Barış Alper Yılmaz and are preparing to submit an official bid, according to reports emerging from Turkey.

The 25-year-old winger, who caught the eye during Euro 2024, has remained on Spurs’ radar since last summer’s initial links.

Turkish outlet Takvim reveals that Yılmaz’s representatives have already notified Galatasaray officials about Tottenham’s impending offer, though the exact figure remains undisclosed.

The Süper Lig champions reportedly value their star attacker at no less than €35 million following his recent contract extension, which ties him to the club until 2028.

Yılmaz enjoyed a productive 2023/24 campaign, netting 11 goals in 29 league appearances while establishing himself as a key figure in Galatasaray’s title-winning side.

His performances have attracted attention from several Premier League clubs, with Nottingham Forest and West Ham United both previously linked, while Serie A giants Inter Milan are also monitoring the situation.

The Turkish international’s versatility across the frontline adds to his appeal, with his ability to operate on either wing or through the middle making him an attractive option for Tottenham’s new-look attack.

Spurs face growing competition for his signature, but their potential Champions League football next season could prove decisive in negotiations.

Galatasaray’s firm stance on their valuation suggests negotiations may prove challenging, though Tottenham’s willingness to formalize their interest indicates serious intent.

As the transfer window progresses, this developing saga could become one to watch, with Yılmaz representing precisely the profile of player Spurs need to bolster their attacking options.
