Galatasaray's national football player Barış Alper Yılmaz made a statement on his social media account regarding the transfer rumors that have emerged about him in recent days. The national player, who stated that he has never negotiated with Galatasaray, expressed that the ongoing process has deeply upset him.

Here is Barış Alper Yılmaz's statement;

''Due to the discomfort I feel from the intense agenda surrounding me in recent days, I felt the need to make a statement regarding the matter. Although I knew that remaining silent would be harmful to me, I have always stayed silent in line with the interests of Galatasaray, but I now believe I need to express myself.

Firstly, there have been many baseless claims about me on social media for a while. The claims that I wanted to leave Galatasaray only for my personal interests or that I watched training with my feet up are, as everyone who knows me would guess, untrue. I strongly condemn these slanders aimed at creating a rift between me and our fans. Our best fans know that I have always done my best for our yellow-red jersey.

Due to the ongoing process, I did not participate in training for a while with the knowledge of our head coach Okan Buruk, as I did not feel well and did not want to harm our team. Following this, rumors and attacks against me increased even more. To clarify the matter, if necessary, my wish is to break Turkey's transfer record and bring significant income to Galatasaray, going down in history, and to represent both my community and my country in the best way possible.

I have never negotiated with my club. No matter what happens, as I have said before, my priority is the interests of Galatasaray. However, while I was expecting to be sent off on the shoulders of my country by breaking Turkey's transfer record, the current situation has deeply saddened me.

Wearing the jersey of the great Galatasaray community has always been an honor and pride for me. I believe I will always show my belonging to the jersey in the best way, both on and off the field. I want it to be known that, as I have done until now, I will fight selflessly for many championships and successes under our yellow-red jersey until the last drop of my sweat.

If record-level offers are coming to me today and Barış Alper Yılmaz is seen as a valuable football player today, the biggest reason for this is undoubtedly that I wear the Galatasaray jersey. On this occasion, I owe a debt of gratitude to my coach Okan, who has always supported me and stood by me. It is out of the question for me to show any disrespect to our club, my valuable coach, and my teammates.

I apologize for unintentionally occupying the agenda due to all these experiences, and I promise that Barış Alper will be on the fields with all his passion and love for the jersey as soon as possible.

In line with our goals in the Champions League and the league, I need the support of you, valuable Galatasaray fans, more than ever. Let it not be forgotten that the essence is Galatasaray. Wishing for a season where we will achieve great successes shoulder to shoulder and finally celebrate together with enthusiasm once again. Respectfully.''
