Lazio lining up bid for Galatasaray striker Yilmaz

21 August 2013 - 17:26

Lazio are lining up a bid for Galatasaray's 28 year old frontman Burak Yilmaz, who's reportedly also a target for Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Yilmaz scored 24 goals in 30 league appearances last season, and has shined playing for Turkey as well. <br />

    Lazio have enquired about his availability, on loan and as a permanent transfer, with reports suggesting that he's available on loan after several bids were rejected throughout the summer.<br />

    Galatasaray are thought to be holding out for at least £13m, 25 percent of which will go to Yilmaz's former club Trabzonspor as part of the deal that moved him to Galatasaray.
