Liverpool is expected to intensify its $33 million pursuit of a “target” spotted in England

Liverpool has reportedly intensified its $33 million pursuit of the player, leading to links with its first summer transfer. Now the player is in the United Kingdom.

Liverpool is in the “race” to be the last team in the Premier League to complete a deal this summer, with only two clubs remaining. With Fulham in their sights, the Reds may be ready to move closer to a deal, though neither team has blinked yet.

Geographically speaking, Fulham might be in a better position to do so because a Liverpool “target” has been spotted in London. However, it’s alleged that Arne Slot’s team is the one urging a transfer for one of the Euro 2024 breakout stars.

London teams West Ham United and Spurs are allegedly considering the idea as well, so Liverpool is not alone in this regard. But according to reports, the Anfield team has now put in a $33 million (£25 million/€30 million) proposal.

Baris Alper Yilmaz is the intended transfer recipient in this case. Liverpool is reportedly interested, according to earlier HITC reports, and recent accusations from Turkey indicate that the hunt may be intensifying.

Ajansspor claims that the application has been submitted, and Liverpool has increased its efforts since Yilmaz’s arrival in the UK. He doesn’t say if he is travelling for work or pleasure, but his presence could lead to a pretty easy transaction.

Virgil van Dijk, who acknowledged having a difficult time against Yilmaz during the Euros, is one person who could agree. In the quarterfinals, Turkiye was defeated by the Netherlands 2-1.

“Baris Alper Yilmaz was running all the time,” Van Dijk allegedly remarked following the match. “He was evading capture.

All the defenders found it challenging. He really put us through a lot. But he was unable to score a goal. He is a very significant player, if we may put it that way.”

Yilmaz represents Galatasaray in club football. The 24-year-old had a fantastic season, helping seven goals and scoring six while Wilfried Zaha and other players fought for spots.

According to Liverpool.com, Yilmaz has a compelling background. He’s played a reasonable amount of football on both flanks and is still young enough to be considered for a move to Liverpool, though the Reds would usually prefer some higher-level experience.

Yilmaz, a right-footed player who came directly out of the Turkish league, is probably not considered Mohamed Salah’s direct successor. However, Liverpool will understand the necessity of having a succession plan, so it makes sense that the team is searching for young, talented wingers.

To be honest, it appears highly likely that Yilmaz is merely visiting London for a vacation. All things considered, it would be an unexpected move for the Reds, but not an extremely unlikely one.
