Everton have stepped up their pursuit of Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz, with OneFootball reporting on August 15 that the club have submitted a €35 million offer for the Turkish star.
The bid underlines Everton’s interest in adding a wide attacking option before the transfer window closes. Baris Alper Yilmaz has emerged as the player at the centre of their current push, and the size of the reported proposal suggests the move is being treated as a significant piece of business rather than an exploratory enquiry.
Galatasaray must now decide how to respond to Everton’s approach. A €35m offer would represent a notable sum, but the Turkish club’s stance has not been detailed in the report. There is also no indication yet that an agreement has been reached between the clubs or that personal terms have been settled with the player.
For Everton, the pursuit fits the broader need to strengthen the squad with players capable of influencing matches in the final third. A winger such as Baris Alper Yilmaz would offer another option in wide areas, and the reported bid shows a willingness to move decisively if the right target is available.
The coming days could prove important, with Everton waiting to learn whether Galatasaray are prepared to negotiate around the offer. Until there is a formal breakthrough, the situation remains open, but the reported €35m bid has made Baris Alper Yilmaz one of the key names to watch in Everton’s late-window transfer plans.
