Galatasaray's star player Barış Alper Yılmaz decided to stay with the team despite receiving an astronomical offer. After receiving a proposal from the Saudi Arabian team NEOM, Yılmaz initially wanted to leave the team, but he changed his mind following a meeting with the Galatasaray management.

In the Super Lig giant Galatasaray, the latest situation regarding Barış Alper Yılmaz, who wanted to transfer to the Saudi Arabian team after NEOM's astronomical offer and whose stubbornness could not be broken, has become clear.

HE WANTED TO LEAVE

After the astronomical transfer offer from the Saudi Arabian team NEOM, shortly before the Champions League rosters were submitted, the player had communicated to the yellow-red management that he wanted to leave the team.

Since the management did not want to send the player, a major crisis erupted. The process continued with the player not attending training and subsequently not being included in the squad for the matches against Kayseri and Rizespor, leading to the belief that Yılmaz would definitely be sent away.
