Turkey who already were predicted to be the “Dark Horse” of the tournament did excellent throughout the tournament. They made their exceptional run to the quarter finals and gave good competition to Netherlands in the quarterfinals. One player that caught eyes was Alper Yılmaz who helped his country massively in the Euros 2024.
Liverpool interested in the Turkish winger
Alper Yılmaz is a 24 years old Turkish winger who is currently playing in the Istanbul club Galatasaray. The Turkish star is currently linked with clubs like Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albian.

However the player was not in Liverpool’s list from very long, but his performances for Turkey National Team came as a surprise and he was immediately put on the Wishlist of the winger wanted by the boss.
Arne Slot’s approach in the transfer window
Since Liverpool changed their managerial system and appointed the Dutchman Arne Slot as the new head coach. The manager has started to work in full force on the transfer window.
Arne has big issues to fix in the squad to compete for the title against Manchester City and Arsenal. There are uncertainties in future of the current forwards at the club. Salah and Nunez were doubted because of the recent controversies. On the other hand, Luis Diaz was unable to fulfil the expectations of his caliber lately. Diogo Jota has been very Inconsistent with his injury record so far at his tenure at the club. These circumstances create a desperation for the club and the manager to get new players.
Barış Alper Yılmaz is also linked with Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United who also are in need of new enforcements at the attacking side of the team. Spurs had recently made few signings at defense and the midfield area and they also look forward to get a forward coming in the club.
