Galatasaray is expecting a transfer fee of 25 million euros for Barış Alper Yılmaz, who has requested to speak with European clubs. Preparing for the possibility of his departure, the yellow-reds have made contact with Lyon's star Mikautadze.
Barış Alper Yılmaz, who drew attention with his consistent performance in the past season at Galatasaray, may leave the team. According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi, the national player, who has contacted two clubs in Europe through his manager, has requested official permission from the club for transfer negotiations.
Barış Alper, who scored 14 goals and provided 6 assists in 48 matches wearing the Galatasaray jersey last season, has a transfer fee expectation of 25 million euros from the management. If this amount is met, the player will be given the green light for a sale.
REPLACEMENT NAME: GEORGES MIKAUTADZE
The yellow-reds, who are prepared for the possible departure of Barış Alper Yılmaz, have already identified their alternative. Allegedly, Galatasaray has started efforts for Georges Mikautadze, who plays for the French team Lyon.
The 24-year-old Georgian footballer's market value is 22 million euros. The Galatasaray side aims to use the economic difficulties faced by Lyon as leverage to complete the transfer at a more favorable fee.
MIKAUTADZE'S PERFORMANCE IS IMPRESSIVE
Mikautadze, who recorded 17 goals and 11 assists in 47 matches last season, can play both on the wing and in the forward position. It is claimed that the player is open to joining Galatasaray due to his dynamic structure and contribution to scoring.
